Tomb 79 was erected by Quintus Appius Saturninus, son of Quintus, for himself and
his well-deserving wife, Annia Donata, for their children, their freed slaves, and the descendants.
The monument could not be inherited, sold or changed by those who did not belong to the family. The area measured 10 x 12 feet.

There was a biclinium in front of the entrance.
