TOMB 34 (continuation)

The burial chamber was built for inhumation only. Although the upper parts of the walls
have disappeared, we know for sure that there were two rows of arcosolia.
Beneath the floor were burial places.
The total room for bodies under the floor of tomb 34 comes to 120.
Adding the places in the arcosolia, we can speak of a burial house
with an immense capacity. Because of the absence of any kind of
inscription we don't know with what kind of tomb we are dealing.
One could think of a tomb of a so called collegium funeraticium,
a funerary guild.
We know these existed, but no evidence or clue about these collegia
has been found so far in the necropolis of Isola Sacra.
