| Abstract: | At the necropolis site of Isola Sacra, the excavations of Portus near the present-day Roman airport of Fiumicino, stands an altar in white marble, to be found on the Via Flavia, near the house of the guardsman at the right of the entrance gate. The height of the altar is 94.5 cm., the width 33-38 cm. and the depth 20.2-25 cm. It consists of an arched pediment with two acroteria (in which the letters DM are incised), a triple molding, a framework with Latin inscription and a base which is again triple. |
