Pediment of the funerary monument of Apthonetus

            This small pediment crowned the aedicule of the funerary monument erected by Quadratilla to his father Apthonetus, presumably a libertus of Greek origins, as can be deduced from the Latin inscription on the pediment (-/Quadratilla |--] Apthoneti patris). The image of the deceased within a clypeus (clipeus, a round frame in the shape of a shield) reflects the style used in portraits of emperor Hadrian. It wasn’t just women who were influenced by the fashions and hairstyles of the imperial family.

Although fragmentary, the inscription provides information on the deceased and the dedicator, as well as the place where the monument stood and the tomb's exclusively familial nature.
