Physical description

Support

Description: Fragment of a funerary inscription preserved in reuse in a wall in antiquity. Two fragments are joined together, of which only the principal lower one is inscribed; it is unclear if the smaller upper fragment, which is attached to the main piece, is actually part of the original inscription. The main fragment preserves the lower right corner of a substantial plaque.
