16.Secundio
'For Secundio, the accountant of Caelia, of 25 years. Philema the wardrobe maid, for her brother.'
[Se]cundioni Caeliae | Sumptuario Annor(um) XXV | Philema Vestiscpica Fratri
Secundio was a sumptiarius, a ‘slave responsible for household finances,’ and therefore, held an important position in his familia. His sister was a vestispica, a ‘wardrobe maid.’ Secundio died at the age of 25, a relatively young age by modern standards. Both brother and sister were proud of their occupations. The entire space of the tablet has not been used for the text.
Like the double memorial, above, modern rivets seem to have been used to secure the tablet to a wall. Therefore, the damage to the top left corner may be modern. A faint number ‘94’ in chalk on the bottom left may be the number assigned to the piece when it left the Lowther Castle collection in 1948.
