More model information*** Marble funerary altar***, Roman, 1st half of 1st century CE, Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The front of the altar is carved in high relief with the figure of the deceased, named in the accompanying, elegantly carved Latin inscription as Anthus. The altar was set up by his father, L(ucius) Iulius Gamus. Although Anthus’ age is not given, he clearly died while still a child, since he is referred to as “(his) sweetest son,” and a personal touch is given to the relief by showing Anthus with his pet dog. -MMA
