This inscription was a forged epitaph of the mythical priestess of Aventicum, ‘Julia Alpinula,’ a victim of Rome’s transalpine conquests later celebrated by Byron and many others as a heroine of first-century Helvetia. See A. Freeman, Julia Alpinula, pseudo-Heroine of Helvetia. How a Forged Renaissance Epitaph Fostered a National Myth. London, 2015, pp. 35–36.
