TOMB 11 (continuation)  The marble threshold of the entrance dates from a later time and is much higher than the original tomb level. Against the back wall of this tomb a sarcophagus has been found. The two niches in the left and the right wall were rebuilt into a kind of sarcophagus closed with a marble slab on the front side. The one on the right side had the following inscription: |
D(is) M(anibus) |
||
| The inscription tells
us that the sarcophagus was placed by Terentius Lucifer and was meant for his wife Kallotyche and their children. It also says that it was forbidden by law to bring in a strange body or bones on penalty of paying 30.000 sesterces to the community. |
