Notes
A funerary monument set up by the heir and his brothers together with the guild of craftsmen.
 
We cannot make out whether this was the collegium fabrum of the colonia Aurelia Apulensis or the collegium fabrum of the municipium Septimium Apulense.
 
The name of the deceased 'Fabricius', strongly suggests he was a freedman of the collegium fabrum.
