Epigraph on the monumental marble tomb, 69 AD, at the Porta Stabia or Stabian Gate, discovered 2017, in the Parco Archeologico di Pompei, or Archaeological Park of Pompeii, Campania, Italy. The tomb is that of a magistrate who is thought to have died during a fight at a gladiator contest. The detailed 4m long epigraph describes his life, achievements and death. The site was excavated as part of the Great Pompeii Project in the San Paolino area near Porta Stabia, one of the access points to the ancient city. A new phase of official excavations has been taking place here since 2017 in an attempt to stop looters from digging tunnels and removing artefacts for sale. Pompeii was a Roman city which was buried in ash after the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. The site is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
