Tomb of the Little Arches
The tomb's facade (early 1st c. AD) showcases arched elements framed in brick, adorned with opus reticulatum, a diamond-patterned masonry technique. Lunettes inlaid with yellow and red stone tesserae evoke solar imagery. Initially a funerary enclosure, it later became a columbarium (a niche for urns), illustrating evolving Roman commemorative practices and the enduring influence of solar symbolism in Roman art.
