Two tombstones
#2
The top one is CIL XI 20 = ILS 2082 from Ravenna, and reads
T(ito) Flavio T(iti) f(ilio) / Pup(inia) Rufo / militi coh(ortis) XII urb(anae) / et coh(ortis) IIII pr(aetoriae) / ordinato architec(to) / tesserario in |(centuria) / b(eneficiario) praefector(um) praetor(io) / cornicular(io) praef(ecti) anno(nae) / |(centurioni) leg(ionis) XIIII Gem(inae) et XI Cl(audiae) et / II Aug(ustae) et VII Gem(inae) / Ulpia pientissima soror et / Aelia Secundina heredes / ex testamento faciend(um) curav(erunt)

To Titus Flavius Rufus, son of Titus, of the (voting) tribe Pupinia, soldier of the 12th Urban cohort and [ordinatus is weird. It implies the centurionate, IIRC, but would be out of order] architectus and tesserarius of a centuria in the 4th Praetorian cohort, beneficarius to the Praetorian Praefect, cornicularius to the Praefectus Annonae, centurio of Legions XIV G, XI Claudia, II Augusta and VII Gemina. Ulpia, his very pious sister and Aelia Secundina, his heirs had this tombstone set up according to his will.

Can't find the other one in the Clauss database (or not quickly enough), maybe someone else can?
Greets!
