The presence of Tombs E48, E50 and E46, from the Age of the Antonines (138-192 AD, attests to the burial ground’s eastward continuation. 
Tombs E45, E46, and E47: this complex’s layout is quite articulated, with an enclosure in front of two cellae intended for the mixed ritual with arcosolia and niches and formae. In the E45 enclosure, the alternation of rectangular and semicircular painted niches, emphasized by stucco half-pilastres, may be seen. Cella E46 conserves the remains of the floor mosaic with a floral motif. Built later, the E47 cella was in mosaic with a white background and black bands indicating the perimeter of the burials beneath (formae), thus facilitating their identification for subsequent burials. 

Tomb E48: quite little is conserved of this building with frontage on the road, characterized by a very simple interior scheme: an arcosolium in the rear wall and formae beneath the floor. 

E49 enclosure and E50 cella: this complex, placed on a second front with respect to the road, is the only one in this sector with a northward-facing entrance; the orientation is most likely conditioned by the presence of a road diverticulum within the burial ground. The enclosure is intended for the mixed ritua
