Two Reliefs from Arles
#3
I should add that the sarcophagus, and perhaps the other piece, were both discovered in 1902 during the demolition of the medieval Porte de L'Aure to clear the ground around the Roman theatre (nice demonstration of priorities there!). I'm not sure whether the pieces had been used in the later wall as building material, but they presumably came originally from the vicinity.

Does anyone know if either piece has been mentioned or described in recent publications? I'm sure they must have been.
