Descrizione:
This slab comes from a Roman sarcophagus, datable to the 2nd century BCE, donated by the city of Gaeta to Francesco Spinola, a valiant commander in the defence of the town besieged by Spanish troops. The slab was later used in 1442, the year of Spinola's death, for his tomb in the church of San Domenico. The statue of San Giorgio vessillifero, in the Museum, also refers to it. Sculpted marble front with religious procession of mythological figures and animals.
