37a. Grave altar of Aemilia Repentina (pl. 34a)

H. 0.68 m., width 0.35 m.
Luna marble.
The top mouldings in the centre are restored in plaster.

The altar is slender and tapers upwards; the mouldings at the foot are simple and bold. On the front face is a sunken panel with the inscription. On the left face is an urceus, on the right a patera. The lid is too large and does not belong. It is of coarse workmanship of about the end of the first century A. D., and carries a rounded gable, within which are a wreath, with a rosette in the eye, and taeniae; at the sides are bolsters, with rosettes in relief at the front ends.

C. I. L., VI. 2, 11163.
