The place
The room is dedicated to epigraphic evidence, including one from the Roman imperial period dedicated to the “concordia agrigentinorum,” erroneously linked to the temple that was named Concordia after it, since it was found nearby.
Also important are some examples of tegulae sulfuris, clay tablets with inscriptions from right to left that were stamped into the containers of molten sulfur to indicate the name of the producer or the person who controlled the trade.
The abundant presence of tegulae in the area indicates a rather flourishing sulfur mining and trading activity, which continued throughout the Roman Imperial age and, in all likelihood, beyond.
Particularly touching is the funerary inscription that a mother, Sabina, dedicated to Teano, her young daughter who died at the age of almost 19, whom she tenderly addresses as “...pure, sweet virgin.”
