During a period of reuse new formae have been
built on top of the mosaic on the side of
tomb 72. These new burial places were covered by marble slabs. One
of these slabs had the following Christian inscription (now lost):
IVLIA
EVNIA . TELESPHORO
MARITO
DIGNISSIMO
FECIT
. IN PACE .
The inscription tells us that Iulia Eunia has
made <this stone> for
Telesphorus, her dignified husband. He rests in peace.
The slab was decorated with a relief of a lamb and an anchor.
Clearly Christian symbols.
Tomb 38 has to be dated back to the beginning of the third century
AD
but must have been in use for a very long time. The inscription
dates from
the beginning of the fourth century AD.
