Lot Essay


This funerary tablet was part of a large group likely collected from one of the many columbaria found along the roads leading out of the city of Rome towards the south. The Latin inscription reads: "To the spirit of the departed: Lucius Axilius Parthenopeus, to his excellent daughter Axsilia Tigris, who lived 21 years, 6 months".
