Of this group of Severan Age (197-235 AD) tomb buildings, only the sub-floor levels, occupied by formae on a number of levels, are conserved. 
Placed along the road are some of the marble finds discovered in the Necropolis and the adjacent land during the excavations by Guido Calza between the 1920s and 1940s: the parallelepiped-shaped altars with tympanum roofs and epigraphic tabula on the front, dating to the first half of the 2nd century AD; the headless female statue, of the “Grande Ercolanense” type from the Age of Trajan (98-117 AD); various sarcophagi, prominently featuring the one that is “bisomous,” or intended for two burials, with heads of Gorgons, dating to the second half of the 2nd century AD, the one with pastoral scenes interpreted by some as Christian, from the 3rd century AD, and lastly the strigilated one with lions from the 3rd century AD.
