TOMB 83
Like the previous tomb, tomb 83 runs parallel
with the Via Severiana.
The semicircular tomb "a cassone" has a large, square niche facing
north. An inscription
on a marble slab of 26 x 43 cm attached to the long side says:
D(is) M(anibus)
SALLVSTIAE ROMANAE
L(ucius) SALLVSTIVS IANVARIVS
FECIT SORORI PIENTISSIMAE
QVAE VIXIT ANNIS XXI
Lucius Sallustius Ianuarius has made this
monument for his
very pious sister Sallustia Romana, who passed away at the age of
21.
The precise date of this tomb is given by a brickstamp from
the last years of the emperor Hadrian, 135-138 AD.
