Arched sandstone stele, indicating the burial of four people: three freedmen and one ingenuus, and including a woman: C. Volusius Iucundus, Heidia Auge, Q. Baebius, ingenuus, without last name and first name equal to patronymic, and L. Tettius Philarg (urus).
The inscription talks about four deads, three freedsmen and amn ingenuus, of different families, so with no degree of kinship, which decide to hve a comon funerary monument in life. Perhaps Volusius and Heidia were married and the others were in a friendship.
The man named tabularius was a an archivist or accountant who wotrked for public or private administration. The faber lapidarius was a hewer or a chisel, and the caligarius the shoemaker, from the word caligae, soldier's and lower class shoes.
