TOMB 75 and 76 (continuation) Tek

Alongside the right wall of tomb 75 is a grave covered with a mosaic depicting Venus and
a pidgeon. The little grave contained two bodies.
Inscriptions are telling us that the grave originally was built by Sextus Iulius Armenius
for his wife Iulia Paullina, but it seems that he was also interred in the tomb
later on, by his female friend Cocceia Tyche:

D(is) M(anibus)                                                 D(is) M(anibus)
IVLIAE PAVLLINAE                                      COCCEIA TY
CONIVGI BEN(e) MER(enti)                         CHE SEXTO
SEX(tus) IVLIVS ARMENIVS                       IVLIO ARMENIO
FECIT                                                               AMICO B(ene) M(erenti)
                                                                           FECIT
