Description
Complete stele with a smooth base slightly wider on the right side; remains of whitish mortar on the upper face. The first line of the inscription is engraved on the inside of a lowered band, due to the fact that the current name was inscribed by erasing a previous text, of which the 'chiare' remained on the second line.
