A tombstone inscription was placed in memory of Tertia. Since the deceased is addressed by only one name, it is assumed that she was a slave. Namely, in the Roman nomenclature, women had two names, and slaves only one. From the inscription we can still read that Tertia was a Thracian from Ismar who died at the age of 40.
