The event, attended by the mayor of Culture, Education and Youth, David Martínez Noguera with the coordinator of Heritage, Mª Carmen Berrocal Caparrós;
the president of MUSEADOMUS, M º Teresa Sánchez Sánchez and the head of Museums, Miguel Martín Camino, continued with the conference 'Problems around the water supply in Carthago Nova', by the professor of Archeology at the University of Murcia, Sebastián Ramallo Asensio.
The piece presented on this occasion, is about two contiguous fragments of a block of gray limestone, dimensions 39 x 130 x 43 cm, inscribed on both sides, which was embedded in the house of the Four Saints in the sixteenth century .
The complete epigraph would be made up of several blocks in which the inscription was developed.
The breaking of the lateral ends affects the beginning and end of the text.
The epigraph commemorates the construction of a temple (aedem), and with it a series of structures of a hydraulic nature made by a character from which only the final four letters of his cognomen are preserved, but who held the position of quaestor pro praetor.
