The Portonaccio Sarcophagus, which gets its name from the quarter in Rome in which it was discovered (near Tibertina, in 1931) was made around 180 CE and would have contained the body of a general, most likely Aulus Iulius Pompillius, who fought for the Emperor Marcus Aurelius against the Germanic tribe of the Marcomanni in the early 170s. Many similar sarcophagi were produced in the second half of the second century, with deeply cut figures densely arrayed in complex poses.
