TOMB 55a

Tomb 55a is a tomb "a cassone" located north of tomb 55. The grave has been found during
a later excavation campaign. So, this tomb was not described by Calza, nor was
the inscription found on the grave.
Tomb 55a is part of the so called "Field of the Poor".
The inscription was turned to the Via Severiana.
