Aquileia, Sepolcreto, Italy

In this area area preserved the only visible remains of the many impressive graveyards lying in the surroundings of Aquileia, along the roads which then connected the town to its neighborhoods and other nearby towns. After the excavations carried out by Giovanni Brusin in 1939, five burial enclosures were reassembled, containing numerous cremation and inhumation burials dating between the 1st and the 3rd century AD. Depending on the type of burial, ossuary and altar monuments can be seen, as opposed to sarcophagi and coffin graves. The burials also contained artifacts, which have been recovered and stored in the National Archaeological Museum.
