Funerary pedestal, dedicated to the
Manes gods (spirits guarding the dead) of
Marcus Iulius Avitus, aged 28, commissioned by his mother,
Iulia Iuliana, to her son, model of piety. Found in 1955, being reused in Rua da Madalena, this epigraphic monument originally supported a statue of the deceased in a
necropolis in
Felicitas Iulia Olisipo, indicating the resting place of his mortal remains.
