Alberto Bolaños Herrera, « Aproximación filológica al epitafio en verso de Eugenia (CLE, 1447), ¿un ejemplo para las viudas cristianas de Marsella? », Revue de philologie, de littérature et d'histoire anciennes, ID : 10670/1.f0uvvl
The lid of a late antique sarcophagus has been preserved in Marseille, in the abbey of Saint-Victor, where it could already be seen in the 16th century. This lid is inscribed with a carmen epigraphicum, that consists of an accurate funerary eulogy of Eugenia, a woman who died at the age of 60. Up to this date, the literary aspects of this text have been neglected in view of the many archaeological and historical issues raised by the material object itself. Aiming to fill this gap, this paper offers a philological approach of the poem.
