Canal tomb HIsola Sacra Menu

Let us now have a look at the tombs on the south-eastern side of this group of tombs.
Tomb H did not have the entrance towards the main street. It was provided with travertine jambs and an architrave. On the façade, from corner to corner, is a cornice made of brick.
No inscription has been found. The ceiling has disappeared.
The burial chamber has an apse with a projecting semicircular niche. The other two walls have three niches each and a semicircular central niche, flanked by two smaller square ones.
On the wall along the main street is a terracotta slab with two male figures.

 

Overview with tombs L, I and H successifuly on the right side.
After tomb H you see the undescribed supported tombs from a younger excavation.
