commentary
The lack of a praenomen on the stone means that it is most likely that the epitaph was for a woman, most plausibly called Claudia Fortunata, but as Bivona observes there are instances of male individuals lacking a praenomen in the Termini corpus also (e.g. ISic000153), so this is hardly conclusive.
