The law of the jungle. For #SarcophagusSaturday, a C3 #sarcophagus a lenòs at #palazzoVenezia. Unlike variants where a trainer restrains the beast to show #virtus, this #lion devours its prey. It reflects the cruelty of nature, matching the anxieties of a fractured Roman empire. #AncientBluesky 🏺

STRIGILATED SARCOPHAGUS A LENOS, C3. PALAZZO VENEZIA In the sunlit garden loggia of the C15 palazzo Venezia, this unlabelled and uncatalogued sarcophagus a lenòs waits unobtrusively for our attention. A simple version of a widespread C3 style, it shows no personalisation. The main front features S-curved strigilation, with flutes meeting at the centre to form a blank mandorla. The curved right end displays a stylised lion with a mane elaborately coiffed like a C18 wig, grasping a small hoofed animal in its paws and jaws. Its pupils focus directly on us, menacingly indicating its preference for dining alone. Enough of the partially obscured left end is visible to confirm a matching relief. While some variants show a human trainer holding back the lion to represent virtus, this version focuses on the cruelty of nature. The weak are brutally devoured by the stronger, an understandable attitude toward death in the fractured and violent C3.

Dieser Palazzo stiehlt den grossen Villen die Schau: In Como, dem Promi-Paradies Norditaliens, entdeckt unser Kolumnist Carsten K. Rath ein 5-Sterne-Hotel, das Charakter hat, statt nur zu glänzen. Und das ist heutzutage viel wert. #PalazzoVenezia #ComerSee
