97A71.10 IB Ocriculum: Roman tomb just E of E gate (how to build a Roman tomb; restoration hard at work, turning an unprepossessing ruin into an imposing monument?)
97A71.11 IB Ocriculum: Roman tomb just E of E gate: detail of the base: several different types of courses of stone masonry; a small part of it is modern restoration, and looks different from the Roman work

97A71.24 IC Ocriculum: near the Roman amphitheatre: close-up of a path, that appeared to be stone, and at the time looked like the top of a vaulted structure; in the photo, it looks like a pattern made by modern earthmoving equipment??
