Built in the first half of the 1st<\/sup>\u00a0century AD, these two independent tombs, which originally had a north-facing entrance (A), are identical in their layout. Both had an unroofed vestibule (B) and a roofed funerary chamber (C) with niches for the cinerary urns along the walls. Funerary banquets could be held on the terrace roofs, accessible along a staircase. In a space created between the two tombs was the\u00a0ustrinum<\/em>\u00a0(D), the area where the bodies of the deceased were cremated; in the 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0century AD, it was occupied by an inhumation burial.<\/p>\n
