摘要：The article examines two sarcophagi with inscriptions found in the necropolis of Hisardere in Iznik (Nicaea) and dated to the Roman Imperial period, in addition to a funerary stele for a Christian tomb. The first of the sarcophagi belongs to Antigonos, who died at the age of 45-50. Antigonos was wrapped in a three-layered woollen shroud and buried with a glass bottle from the 3rd century AD as a burial gift. The shroud on the hands and feet in particular is intact. The wooden pillow under the head and part of the wooden bed under the body have also been preserved. The inscription contains a lament of the arete, which may be connected to the pic-torial programme of the reliefs. In the second sarcophagus lie two female individuals, 30-45 years old and 25-30 years old, who the inscription indicates are mother and daughter. They were found tightly wrapped in a shroud of linen and local wool and silk. A mosaic from the 4th-5th century AD was found on the sarcophagus. This mosaic was removed to open the tomb. Both sarcophagi have preserved the condition in which they were buried. They thus provide us with useful information about the burial traditions of Nikaia in the Roman Impe-rial period and are a fine example of how cooperation between disciplines (archaeology, anthropology, epigraphy) can offer fruitful new results.
