TOMB 90 (continuation) Tek

Just like tomb 88, the entrance of the enclosure of tomb 90 comes out at the newly built tomb 89. The enclosure is, like the burial chamber, organized as a columbarium.
In the niches are still traces of painted poppies.
The grave dates from 125-130 AD.
In the back wall and entrance wall of the enclosure traces of reuse
can be seen. Next to the entrance is a marble slab of 19 x 26 cms
with the following inscription:

DIS MAN(ibus)
T(iti) FLAVI AVG(usti) LIB(erti)
FELICIS CLAVDIA
DAPHINE CONIVGI
BENE MERENTI
ET T(itus) FLAVI(us) SEVERVS
PATRI FECERVNT

Claudia Daphine and Titus Flavius Severus have built this grave for Titus Flavius Felix, freedman of the Emperor. She for her well-deserving husband and he for his father.
