Tomb 67 was originally a very small grave built
around 120 AD and only used to inter urns with ashes. Tomb 67 had
been built against the back-wall of tomb 76 and was oriented to
the south.
Around the middle of the second century AD tomb 67 became part of
a bigger tomb.
This new tomb was, according to the inscription on the southern
wall,
built for Didia Helpis and for her freedmen with their heirs:
D
. M
DIDIAE
.
HELPIDIS
ET
LIBERTIS . LIBER
TAB
POSTERISQ
EORVM
The entrance, once below the inscription,
has been moved
to
the north side in later time.
