TOMB 80 (continuation)

Most of the many decorations in this tomb have been removed and are stored in the Ostian depots. In the arcosolium on the left wall was a painting of a wild animal hunt.
In the middle, riding on a horse, is the hunter. These kind of scenes represented
the courage of the deceased. To the right, on the same wall, was a painting
of a kneeling man sharpening his knife to kill Marsyas (not depicted).
He was found to be guilty of challenging Apollo. The latter was probably
painted on the other side of the niche.
On another wall was a painting of Artemis, sharpening an arrow.
In the central niche in the left wall we can still see Paris and on
the opposite right wall Venus, holding a lance in her left and an apple
in her right hand (museum of Ostia, inv. nr. 10044).
Tomb 80 has been built in the middle of the second century AD.
