Annotations

Inscription:

I am Herennia Vitalia. I erected this grave for my dearest husband Lulius Valentinus, who served the First Legion of Phretens for 48 years, and for my son Julius, who lived 14 years. No one should be allowed to destroy it. But whoever destroys it will give an account to God on Judgement Day
