TOMB 92 (continuation)
        

The burial chamber was organized for placing urns only. Alongside the walls we see
a lot of small, semicircular niches besides larger, rectangular niches with tympanum.
The decorations, made of stucco and paintings, are lost.
The floor, partly still visible, consisted of black-and-white mosaic.
During a later reuse of the burial chamber, formae for inhumation
were dug under the floor. At the same time platforms for supporting
sarcophagi were added and a new mosaic floor with geometrical
patterns was made (now in the Ostian museum).
The original burial chamber was built during the reign of Hadrian.
