Viggen Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 A fragment of a Roman sarcophagus is being returned to Syria thanks to the efforts of experts on Tyneside. The decorated fragment, which was brought into Newcastle University by a city resident, dates between the 2nd century BC and the 2nd century AD. Months of detective work led experts to the island city of Aradus on the Ile d'Arwad, off the coast of Syria. Now the artefact is being returned to a more appropriate home at the Syrian national Museum. full article at the BBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
