Regio
II
Necropolis
of the Nuceria Gate
Pompeii had its graveyards (necropolis) outside the city walls.
The Necropolis of the Nuceria Gate spreads out along the east-west road that stretches
parallell to the city walls. About 250 meters have already been
unearthed. An inscription of Suedius
Clemens lies a hundred paces away from the gate. He was the
imperial prefect that after the earthquake expropriated the private
houses built on public ground. The graves are of several types: with a
base underlying the altar; in the shape of a sepulchral chamber with
niches; in the form of a mausoleum with one or more rows; in the shape
of a small temple on a podium; in the form of a semicircular seat (schola).
The common funeral rite was that of cremation.
