Abstract
In her carefully documented analysis of the Sachetti-Los Angeles sarcophagus Miss Loeffler hardly mentions its history between the time it figured in Montfaucon's publication of 1724 and its appearance in Piranesi's Antichità romane of 1756. There is evidence, however, to suggest that this famous piece might have been during this time in the collection formed by Cardinal Silvio Valenti-Gonzaga.
