This necropolis stretches along a road - parallel to ancient Annia - leaving the city towards South-West, near the amphitheatre; it was excavated in 1939-1940 and restored in the following years. In fact, it is the only cemetery left to be seen, but most of the roads starting from Aquileia were flanked in their first tract by funerary monuments, according to Roman custom. The burial area is divided into a series of precincts, sorrounded by low walls, with stone blocks: they reflect the will of the owner and his family to be represented and to leave the memory of their lives. You can see five parcels, of different width, belonging to five families and dated from the 1st to the 3rd century A.D.: from the inscriptions we know - in succession - Statii, a family with no name, Iulii, Trebii and Cestii.
