Description
Side A: The parents, who have on a single name each, may be slaves; but the son has Roman citizenship, indicated by the tria nomina ("the three names"). If his parents are slaves, he has attained citizenship by manumission and is a freedman.
Side B: A Uerna was a slave born in a household or reared there from an early age. Such slaves were often raised with the child(ren) of their master and had a priveleged place in the household.
Funerary and other tablets were not infrequently re-used. The inscription on this side has not previously been published. It was on the back side of the tablet as it hung on the wall in Lowther Castle (Scotland) for many years.
