Tomb 3
Tomb 3 has also been preserved badly. The grave dates from the latest period of the necropolis. The entrance of this grave is, like tomb 2, turned towards the main street.
This is one of the southernmost tombs and originally built for inhumation. The floor has disappeared and we can see the burial places (called formae) beneath.
This tomb had a double row of arcosolia alongside the side walls..
