click to enlarge photographTomb 78 is part of the group formed by
the tombs 77 till 80 and is the oldest one in that group. None of these tombs has an enclosure. They do have, however, biclinia flanking the entrance. The fronts of these tombs have triangular tympanums.
Above the entrance of tomb 78 we find
the following inscription on a marble slab:

D(is) M(anibus)
TI(berius) CLAVDIVS EVTYCHUS
CLAVDIAE MEMNONIDI
CONIVGI BENE MERENTI ET SIBI
LIBERISQVE SVIS FECIT LIBERTIS
LIBERTABVSQVE POSTERISQVE
EORVM ITV AMBITVM H(oc) M(onumentum) H(eredem) N(on) S(equetur)
IN FRONTE P(edes) XV IN AGRO P(edes) XV

The entrance and the enclosure were made by Tiberius Claudius Eutychus for Claudia Memnonis, his well-deserving wife, for himself and their children, for their freed slaves, and the descendants.
The monument could not be inherited.
The area in width and in depth measured 15 Roman feet.
