This grave stele dates to the 2nd century and was discovered in 1878 at Arbeia, a vicus and Roman fort on Hadrian's Wall (modern South Shields, England). It was commissioned by the Syrian Barates for his wife Regina, a Catuvellaunian freedwoman. The epitaph is written in Latin and Palmyrene Aramaic.
