Roman Gravestone 49

The tombstone of a soldier from the Twentieth Legion Valeria Victrix. The expanded inscription reads:
Dis Manibus Publio Rustio Fabia (tribu) Crescenti Brixia militi Legionis XX Valeriae Victricis annorum XXX stipendiorum X Groma heres faciendum curavit. This translates as:
To the spirits of the departed and to Publius Rustus Crescens, of the Fabian voting tribe, from Vixia, lived 30 years and served 10 years. Groma his heir had this stone made.
