Discovered in Caesarea, Israel, this ancient artifact is now proudly displayed at the Rockefeller Archaeological Museum in Jerusalem. The altar, adorned with intricate calcerows (decorative moldings), is the final resting place for Julius Magnus, a Roman centurion. The front of the altar is graced with a striking image of an eagle perched within an aniche, a decorative niche.
