TOMB 13 (continuation)Tek

The tomb was arranged for a mixed kind of funeral: arcosolia for sarcophagi in the lower parts
of the walls and small niches for urns in the upper parts.
The tomb was richly decorated.
In some of the niches
we can still see painted flowers.
The larger central niches had a
shell of stucco at the top.
Below the floor, which is not preserved,
four formae have been found.
These were placed diagonally against the back wall.
Tomb 13 can be dated to 150-160 AD.
