Tomb 91Isola Sacra Menu

map tombe 90East of tomb 90 lies the semicircular tomb "a cassone" 91. The grave runs parallel with the Via Severiana and has the following inscription on the short, northern side (in the direction of Portus):

D(is) M(anibus)
CLAVDIAE SOTERIDI
AMPLIATVS AVGVS
TORVM CONIVGI SVAE
VIX(it) ANN(is) XVIIII B(ene) M(erenti) F(ecit)

Ampliatus, slave of the emperors, has made this monument for Claudia Soteris, his very well-deserving wife. She lived 19 years. Tomb 91 is not earlier than 161 AD, the first year in which two augusti (Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus) were ruling together.

 

Tomb 91: on the right side tomb 90 and behind the tomb the entrance of tomb 92.
