Summary edit
| Description | 3D view of the Tablinum in the Hypogeum of the Volumnis, Perugia, Italy, cut from a laser scan. The chamber in the privileged position, opposite the stair along the axis of the atrium, is analogous to the tablinum, or master`s study, where family records and deities resided. This chamber contains seven travertine cinerary urns, some covered with stucco, as well as sculptures in sandstone, terracotta, and marble. These sculptures depict not only the individuals interred in the tomb, but also mythological beasts such as Gorgons and serpents, which represent the Furies and demons in Etruscan belief systems. In the center stands the highly decorated crypt of Arnth Velimna, who is commemorated in the inscription on the doorpost of the entrance as one of the founders of the tomb. While most of these Velimna family effigies date from the pre-Roman period, one has an inscription in Latin and is thought to be from the early years under Roman rule, when local mortuary traditions were still being observed. |
