The burial chamber was organized for placing
urns only. Alongside the walls we see
a lot of small, semicircular niches besides larger, rectangular
niches with tympanum.
The decorations, made of stucco and paintings, are lost.
The floor, partly still visible, consisted of black and white mosaic.
During a later reuse of the burial chamber, formae for inhumation
were dug under the floor. At the same time platforms for supporting
sarcophagi were added and a new mosaic floor with geometrical
patterns was made (now in the Ostian museum).
The original burial chamber was built during the reign of Hadrian.
