Limestone tombstone for Maximilla Bassi. Tunisia, Punic, 2nd-3rd century AD from Carthage. This finely carved monument was set up in memory of a woman called maximilla Bassi. The Latin inscription says 'Maximilla Bassi, pious daughter, lived nineteen years. Here she is placed.' After the Roman annexation of Carthage in 146BC it became more fashionable to use Latin for inscriptions although Phoenician remained the everyday language used. The shallow niche is carved with an image of a female figure wearing a pleated tunic and mantle, presumably Maximilla.
