Tomb 23
Tomb 23 is situated in the middle of the block consisting of tombs 22, 23 and 24, and lies approximately 1.30 metres further away from the Via Severiana than number 22.
During a later usage stone benches were placed round a stone table. The space between those benches had a black and white floor mosaic with black borders.
The burial chamber was used for inhumation only. Here too the upper part of the tomb is missing.
Beneath the floor formae were located parallel with the facade as well as diagonal.
Tomb 23 dates, like the others in this block, from 200-210 AD.
