TOMB 34 (continuation)Tek

Excavations below tomb 34 have brought to light the existence of tombs "a cassone" from
the earliest period of the necropolis, including an inscription about a Flavian freedman.

The left side of the enclosure was totally changed during a second expansion.
The room between the already closed colonnade and the southern wall
of the enclosure was closed by a wall with a door. In this way a new
chamber was created. Later a new burial chamber was created
below this room, as we shall see.
The floor of the upper burial chamber has unfortunately disappeared.
In the other part of the southern wall a door was made to the closed
passageway with the staircase (see tomb 33).
