Caption:
The old Roman tombstone in the above picture is one of some 250 owned by the University Museum of Archaeology which date back to the first and second centuries after Christ. The stone is dedicated to "Cornelia Hermione, their mother, who well deserved it" by her sons Cornelius Hermogenes and Cornelius Aquilinus. The Patera or shallow saucer engraved in the gable is known as a libation saucer used for offerings of wines or other liquids to the gods. The inscription belongs to the University's de Crisco collection, purchased from a parish priest in Pozzuoli, Italy.
