TOMB 86 (continuation)
The
façade of the enclosure lies in line with the enclosure of
tomb 87, but protrudes a little bit with regard to tomb 85.
The entrance of tomb 86 is located on the right side of the façade,
which has the following inscription:
CLODIA L(uci) LIB(erta)

Clodia Prepusa, freedwoman of Lucius, has built
this monument for herself and for
Lucius Clodius Atimetus, her well-deserving husband, and for her freed slaves,
and the descendants.
The tomb could not be inheritated by those who did not belong to
the family.
The area measures 20 feet in width and 40 feet in depth.
