The grave stone of a blacksmith from the Municipium Flavia Solva - or : The Meaning of holistic approach

The simple monument from Kalsdorf in the region of Styria presents itself in an uncomplicated way: this inscription is to preserve the memory of Nammonius Mussa, to his wife Kalandina and Saturninus, son of Saturio. We hear nothing, however, about her parents and her age, neither on the profession of the man and the relationship in which Saturninus was to both. None of the persons has the three names as it is typical of Roman citizens. In the epigraphic database by Claus - Slaby (EDCS) Nammonii are attested almost only in the southeastern Noricum and in that area also Kalandinus or Kalandina have approximately the same distribution area as the one of the Nammonii. It could therefore be a " local " family whose members lived in the vici of the municipalities of Virunum and Flavia Solva.
