Regio V

Necropolis of the Vesuvius Gate

The young aedile Gaius Vestorius Priscus died at the age of 22 in 75 A.D.. The municipality provided the land for the grave and 2,000 sesterces for the funeral service, which were administered by his mother. The decorations painted inside the enclosure tell us of the dead person: the young suggestum issuing laws, the gate to hades, the gladiator games, and a marvellous set of silverware that flaunts the wealth of his family.
