Image description

View of the marble, garland sarcophagus of the Empress of the Roman Empire Julia Mamaea (d.235) presented to the college in 1838. Tomb sculpted with garland, cupid, and female figure ornamentations. Jesse Duncan Elliott, commodore of the U.S. Constitution, obtained the sarcophagus in 1837 while commanding the U.S. Fleet during a tour of the Mediterranean. It was "rediscovered" in the basement by the school in 1883 and given on permanent loan to Bryn Mawr College in 1955.
