TOMB 13 (continuation)

The tomb was arranged for a mixed kind of funeral. Arcosolia for sarcophagi in the lower parts
of the walls and small niches for urns in the upper parts.
The tomb was richly decorated. In some of the niches
we can still see painted flowers.
The larger central niches had
a shell of stucco at the top.
Below the floor, which is not
preserved, four formae have been
found. These were located diagonal
on the back-wall.
Tomb 13 can be dated at 150 - 160 AD .
