Marble, 1430 grams; 239 mm. Circa Late 2nd - Early 3rd Century A.D. Shown in relief is a depiction of the priest defied and would have had an elaborate inscription dedicating this stone to commemorate his life. A priest is shown, his right hand holding a patera? And sacrificing over an alter; his left hand is draped around his waist with a toga hanging from his waist. There are depictions of togate figures sacrificing over alter on the coinage of Septimius Severus, Caracalla and Geta, probably contemporary with this item. Steles are known to commemorate the deaths of priest, one such example with a lengthy inscription was recently released for sale at $40,000.00.
