Abstract

The first of them is a stela with a semicircular header, datfrom the 2nd century AD, which bears the epitaph of the marmorarius Rusticus. He was buried with his wife and son in a funerary space delimited by the classical formula of the pedatura; the second, a rectangular marble plaque displays the funerary inscription Rutilia Corneliana, who died in the first half of the 3rd century, AD when she was only two years.
