A series of graves for inhumation, located on
the right side of the back-wall, testifies of
a reorganization in later time.
The enclosure had central niches surrounded by smaller ones.
Another second phase of reuse we can notice next to the entrance.
Here a small arcosolium has been built underneath a bench.
This grave had the following inscription which can't be seen anymore:
DIIS MANIBVS
M . ANTONIO . M . F . ANTONINO . VIXIT .
ANN VIII . M .VII . D XVII
M . ANTONIVS ZOSIMVS . FIL . PIISSIMO . /
LOCO DONATO AB OPTIMVS PATRONIS FECIT
The grave was built by Marcus Antonius Zosimus
for his beloved son,
Marcus Antonius Antoninus who lived 8 years, 7 months and 17 days.
The location of the grave was donated by the original builders of
the tomb.
