is a large tomb with its
façade alongside the passage, but at a different angle
than tomb A and B. The façade has been preserved till the
upper cornice of the wall. Below that cornice was a series of letters,
made of tuff, embedded in the bricks of the wall. The only one
found in place was the letter D,
probably part of the letters:
H(uic) M(onumento) D(olus) M(alus) A(besto)
Let
this monument be free from intentional desecration
As far as we know this is the only case the expression has been
used in this way.
The
entrance of tomb C is placed on the left side of the façade. The jambs and architrave are still
in place. Above the entrance on a marble slab of 72 x 61 cms an inscription has been found.
