TOMB 33
The tomb was built in the space between
tombs 30 and 31 and the Via Severiana.
Originally there was a passageway right next to tomb 32 to reach
the tombs of
the second row. Later on the passageway was closed.
The walls have survived only to a small height.
Of the entrance only the travertine threshold remains.
In the burial chamber one row of arcosolia can still be seen.
Every arcosolium had room for three bodies. Beneath the floor,
once covered with marble plates, were three formae.
