Epitaph

Yesterday I posted a several ancient portraits from Roman mummy tombs found in Egypt. I wanted to add a few more with a slightly foreboding epitaph.

My dear friends      
as you pass by
As you are now    
 So Once was I.
As I am now You     
soon must be.
Prepare yourselves 
to follow me.
