A tomb was erected for the married couple Girisonius and Bibulie
who bore local names. It copies the form of an elaborate antique
grave. The deceased are also depicted according to antique
tradition at a funerary dinner.
The dead lies on a klinai with his wife at his feet. Her hand reaches out to a lapdog. A female servant at the head of the bed is holding a bottle; a table is decked with two cups.
Depictions of the funerary dinner come from Italy. The local couple, who were apparently wealthy, followed this tradition.
Excavated in 1889, 500m south of the fort's "Roman cemetery".
Dating in the second half of the 2nd. century
Mattern 2005, 105f.
