TOMB 90 (continuation)

Just like tomb 88, the entrance of the enclosure of tomb 90 comes out at the newly built tomb 89. The enclosure is, like the burial chamber, organized as a columbarium.
In the niches are still traces of painted poppies.
The grave dates from 125-130 AD.
In the back-wall and entrance-wall of the enclosure traces of reuse
can be seen. Next to the entrance is a marble slab of 19 x 26 cms
with the following inscription:


             DIS   .   MAN
             T . FLAVI . AVG . LIB
             FELICIS . CLAVDIA
             DAPHNE . CONIVGI
             BENE . MERENTI
             ET . T . FLAVI . SEVERVS
             PATRI . FECERVNT

Claudia Daphne and Titus Flavius Severus have built <this grave> for Titus Flavius Felix, freedman of the emperor. She for her very beloved husband and he for his father.
