- Description
- Two joining fragments from a statue base, extensively damaged on all sides. Parts of each original surface are preserved, such that it is possible to estimate the overall original dimensions. Only a small portion of the lower right of the front face and its moulded right margin is preserved, together with the right face, also with vertical mouldings as borders. A substantial part of the rear face is preserved, bearing a later Latin inscription (). A single foothole is preserved on the upper face, towards the rear left corner.
