Hercules sarcophagus

The sarcophagus was found by coincidence in 1991, near the Seyyid Burhanettin Türbesi (in the Archeological Museum’s neighbourhood), during digging operations in preparation of a new ‘Kültür Sitesi’ (Cultural Center).
It is from the so-called ‘Pamphylia’-type (= the Antalya region) and dated to the 2nd or early 3th century AD.
Dimensions: 215 x 101 cm, height: 133 cm.
