No Loitering

Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum IV.813 (from Pompeii; my translation):
This isn't a place for idlers: depart, loiterer.

otiosis locus hic non est: discede, morator.
See Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912), The Street Altar, in Bedford, The Higgins Art Gallery & Museum (accession number P.637; click once or twice to enlarge):
