In this art history video discussion Beth Harris and Steven Zucker look at the "Ludovisi Battle Sarcophagus: Battle of Romans and Barbarians," c. 250-260 C.E., preconneus marble. Palazzo Altemps: Museo Nazionale Romano, Rome. This sarcophagus, also known as the Great Ludovisi sarcophagus (or the Via Tiburtina Sarcophagus), is thought to be a memorial to the wars between the Ostrogoths and Imperial Romans then taking place. It was found in 1621 and named after Ludovico Ludovisi, its initial modern owner.
