[DE] "Römischer Grabstein
Es handelt sich um einen Deckelstein (Tonnendach) eines römischen Grabes aus halbzylindrischem Basaltstein. Der Römer L. Apronius Secco setzte sich zu Lebzeiten diese Grabmal, wie der lateinische Text besagt.
Der Stein wurde um 1790 in den Burgruinen gefunden und wegen seiner besonderen Härte an einem Pfeiler der Liesertalbrücke als Eisbrecher verwendet, bevor man zufällig bei Bauarbeiten seinen Wert erkannte."
[EN] "Roman tombstone
It is a capstone (barrel roof) of a Roman tomb made of semi-cylindrical basalt stone. The Roman L. Apronius Secco settled this tomb during his lifetime, as the Latin text says.
The stone was found in the castle ruins around 1790 and was used as an icebreaker on a pillar of the Liesertal bridge due to its particular hardness before its value was accidentally recognized during construction work."
