Column of gray marble cut in two (109 cm tall x 56 cm diameter). Found at the former Billard Palace. This association evidently had a prominent place for imperial images and, therefore, imperial cult rituals within its activities. Faustina the Younger is here associated with the goddess Isis with the use of two of that goddess's epithets. The Augusti in question are Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus.

P. Aelius Panopaios, who was procurator (epitropos) of our lords the Augusti.  For the sake of goodwill to their household, those from the banqueting hall (syssition) of the Augustan images and of Faustina Pharia (“of the Vessel”) Sostitolos (“Protector of the Fleet”), new Augusta, set this up for their fellow-banqueter (syssitos).
