Rare Sealed Roman Sarcophagus Discovered in Ancient Epidaurum

In a remarkable archaeological discovery on the Dalmatian coast, researchers in the Croatian town of Cavtat have unearthed a rare Late Roman sarcophagus that has remained sealed and untouched for over 1,500 years. This extraordinary find occurred during emergency excavations at a site on Zorina Street, located in the heart of the ancient Roman colony of Epidaurum. The sarcophagus, which dates back to a period of significant social and cultural transformation in the Roman world, offers an unprecedented glimpse into the funerary practices of Late Antiquity.
The excavation team, directed by archaeologist Helena Puhara from the Museums and Galleries of Konavle, was investigating a site that yielded numerous burials of various types. Among these, one particular burial stood out prominently. Buried approximately three meters below the modern ground level, the team discovered a massive stone sarcophagus weighing an estimated five tons. Researchers quickly identified the monument as a Salona-type sarcophagus, a distinct style linked to the workshops in Salona, the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia.
