Museo Civico Archeologico - Tombstones of the pig farmer and the mortar

These two Roman tombstones, likely part of a single monument, feature poetic inscriptions and bas-reliefs. The first depicts a pig farmer (*suarius*) with seven piglets, while the second shows a mortar and pestle, tools used for processing pork and making sausages. These were the activities the deceased engaged in during his lifetime, which allowed him to attain freedom and achieve a certain economic standing, despite starting as an enslaved immigrant in a foreign land.
