The sarcophagi of Begastri. Updated catalog
Abstract
This study attempts a catalogue of every extant sarcophagi fragments that have been found in Begastri, as a testimony to the early Christians in this noteworthy Roman city and episcopal seat in south eastern Iberian Peninsula. It is still necessary to make an exhaustive search for the parallels to other testimonies, but despite obvious limitations and lack of direct knowledge of those parallels, this catalogue will be the necessary starting point for further studies of the art and archaeology of the early Christian period in Spain.
