TOMB 31 (continuation)

The burial chamber differs from the other two of this group.
In the walls there are double rows of arcosolia for inhumation.
In the upper walls, of which only the lower part still exists, were smaller niches.
Beneath the floor, once covered with a mosaic, formae have been
found. On the mosaic floor a part of a Greek name has
survived:
                          
In the arcosolia of the back wall and of the entrance wall
traces of painted decorations with flowers are visible. In the arcosolia
of both the right and left wall paintings have been found (now
in the depots of Ostia). On one of them we see two peacocks,
on the other a small column with two birds.
The grave dates from the end of the second century AD.
