Tomb 5 is a small grave with its facade on one line with graves
2, 3 and
the original grave 4.
The tomb, only reachable via tomb 6, was meant for inhumation
only.
 Tomb
6 is irregularly shaped and located close
to the Via Severiana.
During investigations no traces of formae
have been found below the floor as in
other tombs of the same period.
Whatever the original goal was and why
tomb 6 got that strange shape is still unknown.
Several older graves were found at a lower level.
Under the facade of tomb 5 archaeologists
discovered a tomb "alla cappuccina" from the middle of
the second century AD.
Other graves were found against the left wall (6b), and
in the north-west corner (a tomb "a cassone"; 6a).
