Description of Monument
Four white marble fragments from the same feature, of which
two join, to form c. The original feature was a slightly convex white
marble block (H. 0.145, D. 0.40), and decorated with relief patterns
on the underside; the block was therefore designed to be seen from
below, and perhaps served a purpose similar to that of 99. Length: a: c. 0.50. b:
0.53. c: two joining fragments. 0.65.
