The sarcophagus was the most typical funerary art for Romans under Hadrian and became an expression of status as they were often decorated with elaborate relief sculptures and made from expensive materials such as marble. The cinerary urn was also common, but was typically a simpler and smaller object used to hold the ashes of the deceased. Tombstones and stelae were also used, but were not as emphasized in terms of status and decoration as the sarcophagus.
