 Next
to the inscription are two terracotta reliefs.
On the right one we see a boat with oars and a man at
the stern with a helm. The oars are controlled by three sitting
oarsmen.
On the left relief we see a horse, turning a corn mill.
The horse is managed by a servant.
The tomb is a columbarium. On the back-wall are no traces of paintings.
However, Guido Calza mentioned a painting of Hercules without a
head in a niche in the right-wall. He had a club in his left hand
and in his right hand probably an apple.
In the same niche in the opposite wall was a painting of Neptune.
Of the last  painting
only his legs, his left hand holding a trident
and his right hand pointing
to a dolphin could be seen.
During a second use formae were built below the black and white
mosaic floor.
A small piece of polychrome mosaic was covering a tomb a cappuccino.
In the left corner was a tomb
a cassone formed with four marble slabs.
Tomb 78 dates back to the time of Trajan.
