Tomb 68, also a tomb "a cassone", lies to the north-west of tomb 85. The small grave, not visible today, has a triangular front plate of 25 x 32 centimetres with the following inscription:
| D(is) M(anibus) L(ucius) AEMILIVS DONATVS ET AEMI(li)A MARIA L(ucio) AEMILIO DONATO PATRI PIENTISSIMO FECERVNT |

According to this inscription from the time of Hadrian, the tomb was built by Lucius Aemilius Donatus and Aemilia Maria for their very pious father, Lucius Aemilius Donatus.
