Tomb 36Isola Sacra Menu

Tombs 35 and 36 were built as one grave with two burial chambers, each with its own entrance, facing the Via Severiana.
Tomb 35 borders on the south to tomb 34. Tomb 36 is detached on three sides and shares with tomb 37 s passage to the graves behind.
Both graves are arranged for inhumation only.
Also beneath the floor burial places were located. The walls have double rows of arcosolia.
Between the rubbish of the collapsed walls marble fragments have been found during the excavations. This points to sarcophagi or to arcosolia with marble covers.
The floor had a black-and-white mosaic. In tomb 35 are still some traces of painted decorations with flowers in the niches.
The tombs date from a rather late period (first half of the third century AD).
