The Tombstone of Tessia @museum.de

Gravestone number 8 belongs to Tessia Juvenilis.

The Latin inscription tells us her name, age, origin, and the name of her husband. With the salutation DIS MANIBUS, the deceased were entrusted to the care of guardian spirits who were to watch over them so that their souls might rest in peace.
