I will, and I'll post them here if they are good! My particular favourite of the Pagasai Demetrias stelae is the woman dying in childbirth- it's a very interesting scene.

It's not a tomb so much as a tombstone, but yes. It's a Boeotian tombstone, IIRC, and probably of a thureophoros cavalryman.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
