TOMB 24

Tomb 24 is located on the left side of the block formed by tombs 22-24.
Between the right wall of tomb 24 and the left wall of tomb 25 is a passageway
to the tombs behind.
The burial chamber was arranged for inhumation.
The arcosolia are still containing traces of decoration.
The paintings from the lower niche in the back wall, hunting scenes,
are stored in the museum of Ostia (inv. nrs. 10112a and b).
We see how the hunter with his dogs is driving wild animals to a hunting net.
Another dog, with stretched neck, is running after a rushing deer.
Between his legs we see a third dog with a hare in his mouth.
Here too we can speak of a Dionysian scene (see also tomb 26 and 34).
The upper part of tomb 24 is missing and formae have been found
beneath the floor.
The tomb dates from 200-210 AD.
