TOMB 67
Tomb 67 was originally a very small grave built
around 120 AD and used only for urns. It had
been built against the back wall of tomb 76 and was oriented to
the south.
Around the middle of the second century AD tomb 67 became part of
a bigger tomb.
This new tomb was, according to the inscription on the southern
wall,
built for Didia Helpis and for her freed slaves, and the heirs:
D(is) M(anibus)
DIDIAE
HELPIDIS
ET LIBERTIS LIBER
TAB(usque) POSTERISQ(ue)
EORVM
The entrance, once below the inscription,
was later moved to the north side.
