TOMB 81

Tomb 81 is a small tomb originally completely detached. This grave too had a biclinium with a table of which the base still exists. On the left bench of the biclinium a tomb
"a cassone" has been built later on.
Above the entrance is a marble slab of 37 x 36 cms.
On this slab two inscriptions were made next to each other:

     DIIS M(anibus)                        DIIS M(anibus)
     CLAVDIA                                 EX CONCESSIONE
     NICE SIBI                                CLAVDI LVPERCI
     ET CLAVDIO                          PVRVM
     LVPERCO                               C(aius) NVNNIDIVS
     FILIO FECIT                          FORTVNATVS
                                                       SIBI LIBERIS
                                                       LIBERTIS
                                                       LIBERTABVSQVE
                                                       POSTERISQVE EORVM

The left inscription tells us that Claudia Nice has made the monument for herself and for her son, Claudius Lupercus.
The right one mentions that, with permission of Claudius Lupercus, Caius Nunnidius Fortunatus has used a part of the grave for himself, his children, freed slaves, and their children.
