~ Marble funerary altar.

Period: Early Imperial, Julio-Claudian

Date: A.D. 1st half of 1st century

Culture: Roman

Medium: Marble

• From the source: The front of the altar is carved in high relief with the figure of the deceased, named in the accompanying, elegantly carved Latin inscription as Anthus. The altar was set up by his father, L(ucius) Iulius Gamus. Although Anthus’ age is not given, he clearly died while still a child, since he is referred to as “(his) sweetest son,” and a personal touch is given to the relief by showing Anthus with his pet dog.
