Latin epitaph of the Jewish meat-seller Alexander from Rome

Marble
Late Antique, Roman Late Imperial period, ca. 350-500 CE
Found at Rome in 1862, in the Vigna Randanini catacombs (see on Pleiades), which had a high concentration of Jewish burials

Alexander's profession is unclear, though he certainly worked in a macellum (food market), and was probably a beef seller.
