TOMB 75 and 76 (continuation)
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:
