HGE08 Pompeii. Drawing from Notizie degli Scavi, 1943, (p.296, fig.14), and 1944-45 (p.294-300, details of excavation between 1933-35).

Details of tombs HGE02 – HGE09, including the rear entrance to HGE08 in the funeral enclosure of the Villa of the Mosaic Columns (p. 295-314).

According to Jashemski –

“Since this was the only tomb that had a door leading from the tomb chamber into the garden, and since the only entrance to the garden was from the villa of the Mosaic Columns, it was obvious to Maiuri that the tomb and its garden belonged to this villa.”

See Jashemski, W. F., 1993. The Gardens of Pompeii, Volume II: Appendices. New York: Caratzas, (p.256).
