dc.description.abstractThis paper aims to introduce a new sarcophagus inscription which was used as a spolia ofthe garden wall of a house in the town of Ezine in Çanakkale Province. Providing information about thetomb architecture of Alexandreia Troas in the Roman Imperial period, the inscription constitutes the firstclear epigraphic evidence in the city about the practice of erecting a sarcophagus on the top surface of akamara. Archaeological example of these monumental tombs has not documented in the city. However,analogous practice is well known from the necropolis of Phrygian Hierapolis. The inscription also showsthat the sarcophagus was placed on a ‘stepped pedestal’ called ekbasmosis, a rare term recorded in inscriptions. With this inscription, the term tymborychia which is common in the funerary inscriptions with fineclause, especially in Caria and Pisidia, firstly appears in Alexandreia Troas.
