Tomb 71Isola Sacra Menu

 

In front of tomb 71 lies the covered tomb 70.












Tomb 71 can better be defined as a rectangular object with a base of 65 x 65 centimetres. This aedicula-type grave has a tympanum with an inscription written on a marble slab of 27 x 28 centimetres:

D(is) M(anibus)
L(ucius) SVALLIVS EVPOR
APHRODISIAE
CONLIBERTAE
KARISSIMAE BE
NE MERENTI FECIT

Lucius Suallius Eupor has made (this grave) for Aphrodisia, who has been made free together with him, who was very dear to him and deserves it. Tomb 71 has to be dated to the time of Trajan or Hadrian.
