TOMB 92 (continuation)
The enclosure too was first equipped for cremation only.
On the inside of the wall above the entrance was a painting.
The better preserved part of the painting, the right side, is now
in the Ostian depot. We see two bears and two male figures, probably
a scene from the amphitheatre. Like the hunting scenes, these kind
of scenes symbolized the victory over death.
During a period of reuse here too places for inhumation were created
alongside the walls and under the floor.
Outside the enclosure are two benches of a biclinium and
a brick base for a table.
