The facade of tomb 31 is anin extension of that of tomb 30 and
the original burial chamber of tomb 29.
The back-wall of tomb 31 sticks out a little bit because the burial
chamber of this tomb is deeper than the other two.
The view on the Via Severiana is taken away
by the erection in later time of tomb 33.
Originally there was a passageway between
tomb 31 and 34. This was closed later on.
Also tomb 31 had a biclinium.
Above the entrance the remains of the cornice which once surrounded
an inscription are still visible. This inscription, as well as
the ceiling, has got lost.
