Gravestone (Funerary Stele)

It is broken at the bottom. The inscription is on the gravestone's simple, exterior molding, below a plain arch, and in a sunken writing area. This type of stele was common in the pre-Roman and Roman city of Colonia Celsa, as shown by another two discoveries. It was also found in Colonia Caesar Augusta at the same period, as well as in other cities in the time of Augustus in the Iberian Peninsula, northern Italy, and Rome. The shape may have been introduced by early Italic emigrants, as shown by some of the names on the Celsa inscriptions, such as Caenonius and Volusienus, which may have been Etruscan.
