Tomb 90 (Trajanic-Hadrianic)

In the tomb are many stucco reliefs (described on a separate page). Paintings were added in a second phase. On the left wall Calza recognized Endymion or Narcissus. On the right wall is the abduction of Hylas, the assistant of Hercules, by the Nymphs. The Nymphs, to the left, stretch out their arms to Hylas, standing on the right.
