Tomb of Nævoleia Tyche at Pompeii

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

“For tombs of smaller dimensions various forms and abnormal decorations were employed. An ornamented erection of a shape similar to an altar or a temple, and resting on a solid substructure, is a by no means uncommon form. Many tombs are constructed like real temples, while others consist only of simple columns.”
