The Gravestone of M. Favonius Facilis at Colchester

The gravestone of a centurion of the Twentieth Legion, M. Favonius Facilis, which was found in the Roman cemetery at Colchester to the south-west of the colonia in 1868 is of particular interest for the history of Romano-British art, since it is one of the earliest sculptures known in the province. It is carved of Bath oolite and bears in a round-arched niche a full-length figure of Facilis (PL. IX), who is bare-headed but is otherwise dressed in the complete uniform of a centurion and carries a uitis in his right hand. Below the niche is the inscription, which reads: M(arcus) Fauoni(us) M(arci) f(ilius) Pol(lia tribu) Faci/lisc(enturio) leg(ionis) xx. Verecund/us et Nouicius lib(erti) posu/erunt. h(ic) s(itus) e(st).
