Quote:What exactly is the 'seat of peace'? Fantastic gravestone!Perhaps it is one of those gently vibrating chairs, specially reserved for the primi ordines. On a more serious note, it comes from El-Hamma/Aquae Flavianae (not far from Khenchela in Algeria) and you can find him in Clauss-Slaby (only one inscription comes up if you search on 'optavi dacos'!) and the old-fashioned, steam-driven, dead-tree-fuelled reference is AE 1928, 37.
