Archaeologists reveal mythological scene on ancient sarcophagus found in Caesarea
The sarcophagus was discovered outside the known walls of Caesarea, indicating that the ancient city was far more extensive than previously thought.
The side of the marble sarcophagus, depicting the scene of Hercules, sprawled on a lion's skin and holding a cup in his hand. (photo credit: Emil Aladjem, Israel Antiquities Authority)Updated:
