TOMB 49
Of tomb 49 only the facade is visible. The
small grave lies hidden to the north-west of tomb 47. It was partly covered
by newer graves which are also not visible anymore. This tomb
has been numbered probably because of the existence of a marble
slab with the following
inscription in small characters:
DIIS MANIBVS
TI(berius) CLAVDIVS AVG(usti) LIB(ertus) EVMENES
SIBI ET CLAVDIAE PHOEBE ET
FADIAE TETHIDI F(iliabus) ET CLAVDIO
PHOEBO F(ilio) ET IVLIAE HEVRESI
CONIVGI POSTERISQVE EIVS
Tiberius Claudius Eumenes, freedman of the
emperor (has erected this monument)
for himself and for Claudia Phoebe and Fadia Tethis, his daughters,
and Claudius Phoebus, his son, and Iulia Heuresis, his wife, and
their children.
Beneath
the floor of this tomb six urns
have been found with pieces of bones.
Tomb 49 dates from the time of Trajan. |
