Tomb
100 is a relatively small tomb without an enclosure. The grave is
detached on all sides and does not stand in line with other tombs.
It is also built on a lower level than the surrounding tombs. This
was probably caused by a subsidence on this spot.
Above the entrance of the burial chamber, facing the Via Severiana,
is an inscription on a marble slab of 35 x 42 cms:
