Tomb 99
Between tomb 97 and tomb 100 lies another tomb "a cassone", tomb 99. The little grave has an aedicula facing the street. Inside the aedicula we see an inscription on a marble slab of 34 x 37 cms:
DIIS MANIB(us)
PETRONIAE STOLIDIS
FIL[[L]]IAE PIISSIMAE
C(aius) PETRONIVS ANDRONICVS
ET PETRONIA MARITIMA
PARENTES FECERVNT
VIXIT ANN(is) XX D(iebus) XXII H(oris) IIII
Caius Petronius Andronicus and Petronia Maritima, the parents, have made this monument for Petronia Stolis, their most pious daughter. She lived twenty years, twenty-two days and four hours.
In front of the grave is the base of a table meant for funerary purposes.
Tomb 99 dates from the time of Antoninus Pius.
