In the center of the stele are sculpted a man and a woman who shake their right hand. The man wears the toga and holds a scroll in his hand, while the woman perhaps holds a pomegranate, a symbol of fertility. The liberty (i.e. ex-slave) Pettia Ge has placed this plaque for herself, for her former master Caio Pettio Pilade, for her two freedmen and for a man who was perhaps her husband, the sculptor Caio Antioco, of whom I am the working tools are shown. The tomb was found in Reggio Emilia, in a necropolis along the Via Emilia, and dates back to the 1st century. A.D.
