Roman tombstone of Flavia Augustina and her two sons, commissioned by her husband and father, Gaius Aeresius Saenus – a veteran of the legion VI Victrix. The woman died at the age of 39, and the children were barely two. The relief shows us two parents holding scrolls and in front of them their sons with balls.
