Légende
marble sarcophagus with the myth of Selene and endymion, early 3rd century A.D. Roman. An inscription at the centre of the lid informs us that this trough-shaped sarcophagus was dedicated to a woman named Arria, who lived fifty years and ten months, by her daughter Aninia Hilara. Endymion was been granted eternal youth and eternal sleep.
