Funerary stele; place of discovery: Gherla (Cluj County); 2nd century AD.

Architectonical funerary stele, from which only the right side remains. The semicircular niche depicts a scene from the funeral banquet, probably the version with more participants. Two other characters, a man and a child, can be seen on the kline. The mensa tripes has been placed in front, and a servant was placed on the side. The inscription is fragmentary, but the deceased appears to be a child.

Inscription: [D(is)? M(anibus)? ---]inus M/[---]ris qui / [vix(it) an(nis) ---]II inf(ans?) in/[fel(icissimus?) Pro?]cula p(ientissimo) n(epoti).
