Iulius Aquila, and his heirs. The will goes on to provide for annual banquets at the tomb site, to be funded by Aquila and his heirs (not explicitly from proceeds of the orchards), and to ensure that any deviations from the testator's prescriptions be undertaken only in order that the complex be better adorned, better planted, and better perfected (<em>nisi..ut melius colantur et conserantur perficianturque</em>).</p> <h2 id="maps">Maps</h2> <!-- ## Plans --> <!-- ## Images --> <h2 id="dates">Dates</h2> <p>unspecified</p> <h2 id="bibliography">Bibliography</h2> <ul> <li><em>CIL</em> 13.5708. <a href="http://db.edcs.eu/epigr/epi_ergebnis.php">EDCS-19800561</a></li> <li><em>ILS</em> 8379.</li> <li><em>FIRA</em> III 49.</li> <li>J.-J.
