A contribution to the study of the Jason sarcophagus from Viminacium

Pilipović Sanja (Balkanološki Institut SANU, Beograd)

The integral programme communicated by the so-called Jason Sarcophagus from Viminacium includes the depictions of Jason’s and Perseus’ heroic deeds on its front, and of a satyr and maenad in ecstasy on the sides. The significance of this funerary programme is examined on two levels: that of the symbolism of individual scenes, and that of their interrelationship and the whole they constitute as different expressions of triumph over death. The sarcophagus is viewed with respect to a related repertory of themes in the arts as well as to the time and place of its creation.

Keywords: Sarcophagus, Viminacium, relief, symbolism, Jason, Perseus, satyr and maenad
