TOMB 89 (continuation)

The little burial chamber called 89A was equipped for both cremation and inhumation.
There were also burial places under the floor. Alongside the walls are small niches for urns
and a double row of arcosolia. Between the row of arcosolia are garlands of flowers.
Tomb 89A dates back to the time of Antoninus Pius.

The third burial chamber, 89C, leans with its back wall against
the left wall of tomb 90. It was a small grave exclusively for urns.
Of 89C only the threshold, two blocks of travertine and
a small piece of the wall have survived.
In later time a sarcophagus, made of travertine, was placed
on this spot, covering the whole area of tomb 89C.
