Sarcophagus of Livia Primitiva

The Sarcophagus of Livia Primitiva is an Ancient Roman stone coffin with ornamental engraved with a Latin text and figures of the Good Shepherd, a fish, and an anchor[1] and was originally housed in the Louvre.

There has been speculation on the religious origins of the Sarcophagus of Livia Primitiva.

[4] Livia Primitiva was 24 years and 9 months of age at the time of her death.

[5] Raoul Rochette suggest that Livia Primitiva's monument was actually Pagan and had Christian elements added later.

[8] The style in which the shepherd is carrying the sheep indicates that Livia Primitiva's sarcophagus was suspected to be that of a Pagan faith.
