Sometimes a body was first intered into a sarcophagus. The kind of sarcophagus depended from how much money one could afford. The most common was a plain terra-cotta sarcophagus. Some well preserved wooden examples have been found and are stored in the Marine museum near the airport of Fiumicino. Every sarcophagus was provided with a head-rest.
Before we come to the more interesting tomb type, the monumental tomb or "Tomba a cella", we have to look at a couple of tombs with an aberrant form.
First there are two small tombs on this necropolis with a brick pyramid on a square base (the tombs 1 and 51). Of both graves we know the owner by an inscription attached to
the grave. Another rare example has the form of an aedicula on a pedestal. This monument too has an inscription (tomb 51).
