Where's Antigognous?

this one definitely caught my eye because it had a very detailed story to go with it. This is a family of two freed slaves, who got married and had a child, to the left, who was born deformed and sick and presumably died before his parents. His name was Globulus, perhaps affectionately refering to his head.

you wouldn't believe it's the burial of a Scipio with that writing.

The original was said to be made of single piece of marble

this tablet confirms the questorship of a Publius Scipio, but fuck me if i remember which, that family sucked at making names. He died before turning Tribune, though.

also Veeky Forums is being a real piece shit now.

another burial decoration and a slave necklace

bust of a guy. Just a guy.

ditto. But with helmet.

a Vexillarius

a pocket sculpt of mama she-wolf to bring Rome wherever you go

moved to a different Room, found this first. Someone really needed to know what a ribcage, a leg and guts looked like, i guess.

captcha is quickly making me want to strangle it's figurative neck

how do people do this daily.

this woman wanted to be remembered as very comfy.

this one asked to be portrayed as Aphrodite. A guide said it might be because it meant she was embracing dead to meet a lover in the afterlife but it felt like a stretch.

a little box

more paintings, i learned absolutely nothing about what these mean
