Limestone funerary cippus

Unknown

ca. 2nd–3rd century CE · Limestone · Greek and Roman Art

The inscription on this ornate cylindrical cippus is badly preserved and is now difficult to read. Cesnola identified two names, Aristodamos and Aristogoras, but the feminine form of the accompanying adjective “Good” at the end of the second line suggests that one person named here is a woman.
