Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Pennsylvania Museum, Vol. 45: January, 1914
This sarcophagus was removed from elevated grounds in the rear of Beirut, Syria, and embarked on the United States frigate Constitution, the flagship Of the Mediterranean squadron in 1839. Who the occupant was, or what his position, is a subject of pure conjecture, though it has been supposed to have been the last resting place of a Roman Emperor.
