TOMB 91
East of tomb 90 lies
the semicircular tomb "a cassone" 91.
The grave runs parallel with the Via Severiana and has the following
inscription
on the short, northern side (in the direction of Portus):
D(is) M(anibus)
CLAVDIAE SOTERIDI
AMPLIATVS AVGVS
TORVM CONIVGI SVAE
VIX(it) ANN(is) XVIIII B(ene) M(erenti) F(ecit)
Ampliatus, slave of the emperors, has made this
monument for
Claudia Soteris, his very well-deserving wife. She lived 19 years.
Tomb 91 is not earlier than 161 AD, the first year in which two augusti (Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus) were ruling together.
