Description The article aims to dispel the oft-expressed assumption that two late Roman sarcophagi, once in the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto and currently in the Bible Lands Museum in Jerusalem, are forgeries. It analyzes their epigraphy and iconography on the basis of an autoptic examination and evaluates the arguments put forward in the scholarly controversy concerning the authenticity, provenance and dating of the two coffins.
