The funerary rilievo, coming from the imposing tomb of the freedman M. Virgilio Eurisace just outside Porta Maggiore, reaffirms the deceased with his wife Atistia. The sculptural group, which shows the two spouses in a frontal position with the cap clearly facing each other, was on the eastern side of the tomb, now lost. The two figures, dressed in the traditional clothes of the Roman citizen (the toga) and of the matron (the stole and the cloth), reflect the formal characteristics of the late-Repubblican rituals. Eurisace, as recalled by the writing on the surface of the monument and by the inscription that is almost identical on the three superstitious lati, was the owner of a bakery that supplied products to the State and also an apparitor, i.e. the subordinate of a magistrate or of a priest.
