On the two terracotta reliefs (copies in situ) we see the profession of Verrius Euhelpistus. He was probably a trader or manufacturer of iron tools.
On the left relief we see a man, standing on a bench, working with a kind of millstone. Right above him all kinds of tools are represented.
The scene looks much like the scene on the façade
of the original burial chamber. Here too we see a man working behind a millstone.


click to enlarge photograph The scene on the right relief seems to consist of two levels. On the upper level we see a man behind the counter of his shop, here too surrounded by tools. We recognize scissors, surgical equipment,
scalpels, an anvil, saws and sickles.
Beneath him, on a second level, another man is
working.
