TOMB 97 (continuation)
There
is no inscription above the entrance of tomb 97.
We see, however, a mark in the wall where probably
an inscription was attached.
Alongside the façade and both side walls was a nice moulding.
A part of the moulding can still be seen on the eastern wall of
the tomb. Tomb 97 is unique in this necropolis. When we enter the
grave via the door on the north side, we are standing in a roofed
portico. This portico runs alongside the west and north side of
the tomb and consists of three columns with two vaults in between.
Via the porticus we enter an open space with a marble altar on
a brick base in the centre.
