- Lid of the sarcophagus of Faustina, a woman buried in Rome, probably in the late
third century. Faustina’s name is in Greek, but the shofar, menorah and lulav indicate
her Jewish origin, as does the Hebrew word shalom. Theatre masks are a common
feature on sarcophagi. - Marble table in the monumental synagogue (130 by 20 yards) in Sardis from the fourth
century. Converted from an earlier public building probably in the late third century and
in use at least to the sixth century, it could hold a thousand worshippers.
