Ancient Uniquely Decorated “His And Hers” Roman Coffins IAA Archaeologist, Uzi Rothstein, has now confirmed that the two coffins are “a matching pair.” In an article in lsrael 21c , the researcher said that when the workers started digging they noticed something sticking out of the ground. “They kept digging and revealed something incredible - two unique, stone-carved sarcophagi - ancient coffins that are 1,800-years-old.” Furthermore, because identical symbols, garlands and discs, were found on both sarcophagi, Rothstein thinks they were ‘his and hers,’ “made for a husband and wife.” The sarcophagi are ornately decorated with funerary garlands and discs which were both high-status symbols in the Roman period. The disc symbols, in particular, are of special interest to the researchers because they might have served “a mystical function after death.”
