A fragment of a marble relief showing a woman in a long robe pouring liquid from a barrel supported by a wooden frame. An inscription below, in Latin, mentions the deceased: Sentia Amarantis.
Working #women are frequently attested in the #Roman empire: the funerary stele of Sentia Amarantis depicts the deceased tapping wine from a barrel. She was an inn-keeper and died at the age of 45. The stele was set up by her husband.
From Augusta Emerita/Mérida, 3rd c. AD.
