HGE40 Pompeii. Herculaneum Gate East Side. Nameless tomb (Kockel).

Tomb of Salvius or Tomba del fanciullo Salvio (Eschebach).

Excavated 1812-1813? (Eschebach East 40, Kockel Nord 40).

 

HGE40 Pompeii. May 2006. A stele in herm form was found inside the tomb. The inscription on this tomb gave no first name and was simply SALVIVS PVER VIXIT ANNIS VI. According to Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss/Slaby (See www.manfredclauss.de) this read Salvius puer vixit annis VI [CIL X 1032] Mau translates this as “ The boy Salvius lived six years”. See Mau, A., 1907, translated by Kelsey F. W. Pompeii: Its Life and Art. New York: Macmillan. (p. 426). According to Kockel, the stele was said by Mommsen, Niccolini and Overbeck to have been found next to that of Munatius Atimetus (HGW22/Nord22). Bonucci, Breton, Fiorelli and Mau however attributed it to HGE40/Nord40. See Kockel V., 1983. Die Grabbauten vor dem Herkulaner Tor in Pompeji. Mainz: von Zabern. (p. 100).
