TOMB 57

Tomb 57 is, like tomb 58, oriented towards the main street. This suggests a secondary
road in front of both tombs.
The two detached graves are rather isolated from the other tombs in the necropolis.
Originally tomb 57 was only used as a columbarium, but didn't escape in later time,
as most of the tombs, from reorganisation.
Above the entrance is a marble slab with the following inscription:

D(is) M(anibus) SEPTIMIAE TYCHENI
P(ublius) AEMILIVS TYRANNVS CONIVGI
CARISSIME ET LECANIVS
ZOSIMVS SORORI PIAENTISSIME
FECERVNT ET SVIS OMNIBVS

According to the text the grave was built for Septimia Tyche by Publius Aemilius Tyrannus
and Lecanius Zosimus, for the one his beloved wife and for the other his very pious sister,
and for all other members of the family.
