Sculpted in sedimentary stone from the Languedoc, it was found in the main sanctuary area of the city. It was part of the vegetal decoration (anthemion), alternating palmettes and lotus flowers, of the eaves of the roof of a temple, built with stone tiles of the same type. On the back, it shows two alphabetic characters, which served to indicate its location. 3D Model: UAB Open Labs
