About the Item
A Large Rosso Antico Marble Model of the Sarcophagus from the Tomb of the Scipios. Attributed To The Workshop Of Benedetto Boschetti.
The lid with palm-scrolled ends, is inscribed to the front edge 'CORNELIVS. CN. F. SCIPIO'.
The main body is embellished with a Roman Doric entablature and is inscribed with Barbatus' epitaph, written in Old Latin Saturnian meter:
CORNELIVS·LVCIVS·SCIPIO·BARBATVS·GNAIVOD·PATRE PROGNATVS·FORTIS·VIR·SAPIENSQVE—QVOIVS·FORMA·VIRTVTEI·PARISVMA FVIT—CONSOL CENSOR·AIDILIS·QVEI·FVIT·APVD·VOS—TAVRASIA·CISAVNA SAMNIO·CEPIT—SVBIGIT·OMNE·LOVCANA·OPSIDESQVE·ABDOVCIT
"Cornelius Lucius Scipio Barbatus, sprung from Gnaeus his father, a man strong and wise, whose appearance was most in keeping with his virtue, who was consul, censor and aedile among you - He captured Taurasia, Cisauna, Samnium - he subdued all Lucania and led off hostages."
The sarcophagus of Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus, celebrated conqueror of the Etruscans in 298 BC, was discovered in 1780 during the excavation of the sepulcher of the Scipione family on the Via Appia Antica, and later transported by Pius VI to Rome's Pio-Clementino Museum.
Italy, Circa 1840/60.
