Quote:So I would guess Atimetus is the citizen in the toga, and Epaphra (who may have worked in the shop 'very meritoriously') is the man on the right. I'm sure it is a man, by the way - unbelted tunic, looks rather like those on Pompeian wall paintings.

As for date - probably Flavian.
With that in mind, presumably the freedman Epaphra was responsible for running the shop and perhaps overseeing the craftsmen who made the knives? The scene would therefore be of the freedman displaying the products to his (former) master, who presumably wouldn't lower himself to actually engaging in commerce and pay for something...
