Detail of a marble inion, found in situ in the catacomb of Randanini (Frey #162, Noy #268). In Greek, "Salpingius, a child." A shofar flanks either side and heart shaped leaves are at bottom. According to Leon "The trumpets are a punning reference to the child's name". Photo: PCAS RAN Tg492-Vigna Randanini.
