The tablet will be one of the featured artifacts when the museum reopens Sept. 18 following an extensive renovation. The second-century A.D. tablet honors Sextus Congenius Verus, a sailor in the Praetorian fleet stationed at Misenum, near Naples. “I reached out to contacts I had in Italy and was eventually connected with the museum in Civitavecchia. Now, with the reopening of the National Archaeological Museum of Civitavecchia, the tablet has been cleaned and reunited with the collection it left more than 80 years ago. “The fact that something can be missing for so long and then be rediscovered and returned is a joyful moment,” Lusnia said.
