"This marble sarcophagus is thought to have belonged to a member of the royal family and has come to be known as the "Prince Sarcophagus". On each of its long sides, a pair of angles in flight carrying the circular monogram of Christ in a garland and is represented in relief. On each short side, a pair of bearded apostles flanks a large cross."\* Second half of the 4th century to early 5th century CE.
