Funerary stele for Marcus Iulius Piso, son of Marcus. Although with a very common typology (stele with round top), this monument has a distinctive

aedicula, excavated before the epitaph, still bearing traces of a frame and cavity designed to hold a metallic plaque, perhaps depicting the deceased (as indicated by the two small holes in the upper corners, still with traces of lead). The epitaph, following the typical models of the 1st century AD, also presents a singularity: the deceased, a child aged three, deceased long before adulthood, is referred as being member of tribe

Galeria (which includes the citizens of

Felicitas Iulia Olisipo). If there was no error engraving the number representing the age of the deceased, then the young Marcus Iulius Piso was probably son of

freedmen and the first freeborn in his family and, therefore, entitled to full Roman citizenship upon reaching adulthood, a fact desired to be perpetuated in the epitaph.
