I am Marco Publicio Avito, wealthy citizen (honestiore) of Saetabis, ordo equester.

I was born in 71, in the time of princeps Vespasiano. I inherited a magnificent marble quarry in Saetabis Augusta from my father, a freedman. Despite my father’s wishes, I never paid much attention in school and instead opted for the business world, where my career flourished under the auspices of Mercury. Diversifying investments and choosing my friends wisely among the great men of the province has increased the family fortune, which granted me access to the ordo equester and the title of honestiore.
