Tomb 50Isola Sacra Menu

Tomb 50 lies in the space between tombs 41, 42 an 43. It was partly covered by tomb 41bis, which is not visible anymore.
Also tomb 50 cannot be seen today.
Tomb 50 was not turned towards the Via Severiana, but towards the open space behind, the so-called "Field of the Poor".
The grave had the following inscription on a marble slab of 30 x 36 cm:

D(is) M(anibus)
TI(beri) CLAVDI TI(beri) F(ili) PRIMI
GENI FECIT TI(berius) CL(audius) QVI
NTILIANVS FILIVS ET
A(ulus) RVTILIVS PVDENS
FILIASTER ET LIBERTI
EX PORTIONIBVS SVIS FECERVNT

The text says: To the divine Manes of Tiberius Claudius Primigenius, son of Tiberius. Tiberius Claudius Quintilianus, his son, and Aulus Rutilius Pudens, his stepson, and his freedmen made (this monument) from their part of the heritage.

Tomb 50 dates from the time of Hadrian.

 

Tomb 50 was turned towards "the field of the poor" to which also these two small graves on the foreground (51 and 51 bis) bekonged.
In the back tomb 54 and 55.
