TOMB 75 and 76 (continuation)
The
walls of the enclosure are equipped with a large number of niches
for urns. In front of the entrance of the burial chamber of tomb
75 is a round well.
Against the newly built left wall of the enclosure are several burial
places of tuff stones. One of these has the following inscription
on a marble slab of 46,5 x 25 cms:
D(is) M(anibus)
COCCEIAE
DORIDI M(arcus)

The grave was built by Marcus Antonius Callistianus,
son of Marcus,
for Cocceia Doris, his very respectful grandmother, who himself
lived for twenty-one years and two months.
