The enclosure has been built probably about
150 AD and was exclusively used for interring urns.
Above the entrance of the enclosure we find an inscription on a
marble slab
of 35 x 78 cms, once flanked by two reliefs.
Unfortunately, the reliefs are lost.

The inscription tells us that <the monument>
was erected by Trophimus,
slave of our emperor, and by Claudia Tyche for themselves and for
their beloved daughter Claudia Saturnina, who lived fifteen years,
six months and thirteen days. For their freedmen and their children
A fourth part of the monument (probably only of the enclosure) was
bought from Valeria Trophime.
