Abstract
Abstract: The article aims at dispelling the repeatedly expressed assumption that two late Roman sarcophagi formerly in the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto and now in the Bible Lands Museum in Jerusalem are forgeries. It analyses their epigraphy and iconography based on autopsy of the monuments and assesses arguments brought forward in the scholarly controversy regarding the authenticity, provenance, and dating of the two coffins. Réesumé: L'article vise à infirmer l'hypothèse maintes fois formulée selon laquelle deux sarcophages de l'époque romaine tardive, qui se trouvaient autrefois au Musée royal de l'Ontario à Toronto, et qui se trouvent désormais au Musée des Terres de la Bible à Jérusalem, sont des faux. Il réalise une analyse épigraphique et iconographique de ces monuments par examen autoptique et évalue également les arguments avancés dans le débat scientifique concernant l'authenticité, la provenance, et la datation des deux cercueils.
