Some epigraphs refer to peculiar moments of one’s life and the good deeds one has done. They might encapsulate the life of a person in a few lines or suggestive depictions. One example is the epigraph dedicated to a military officer by his wife. The epigraph, of large proportions, expresses the pride for the good services paid by the officer in his profession.
