TOMB 94 (continuation) Tek
        

The enclosure has been built probably about 150 AD and was
used exclusively for interring urns.
Above the entrance of the enclosure we find an inscription
on a marble slab of 35 x 78 cms, once flanked by two reliefs.
Unfortunately, the reliefs are lost.

The inscription tells us that the monument was erected by Trophimus,
slave of our Emperor, and by Claudia Tyche for themselves and for
their most pious daughter Claudia Saturnina, who lived fifteen years,
six months and thirteen days, for their freed slaves, and the descendants.
A fourth part of the monument (probably only of the enclosure) was
bought from Valeria Trophime.
