Document Summary
Showing children because they embody the future, potential and lineage (augustus - imperial period) Tomb of the child is important because it says to everyone else that they loved this person, people are remembered. Embodiment of the family and it matters more because the parents are free slaves. This is their legacy but he died. Freedmen tombstones matter more because they showed that they were able to make it and that they would not be forgotten. Monuments: make things eternal, people are forced to engage with it. In the representation of women, they talk about men and what they had accomplished. Comparison: funerary stelae of the citizen women. Docile, honourable wife would mean your children would be citizens and would be known as your children as well. Likely that she was not seen much in real life because she was seen in the house.
