"Iscrizioni delle Camere sepolcrali de' Liberti e Servi, ec. della Famiglia di Augusto, XXXV" is an etching by Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi. The print, part of his larger series "Le antichità romane", depicts a collection of inscribed tablets found in the Roman catacombs. Piranesi's meticulous attention to detail and realistic rendering of the inscription fragments make the image a testament to the artist's fascination with Roman antiquity and its enduring legacy. The print offers a glimpse into the lives of freedmen and slaves who served the family of Augustus, providing valuable insights into social hierarchies and funerary practices of ancient Rome.
