Pompeii Porta Nocera. May 2006. Tomb 9OS. Statues of the seated couple in the tomb.
The couple are destined to remain anonymous as there are no inscriptions.
The roll in the hand of the male character would suggest a function of magistrate who would be well in keeping with the dignity of the monument.

Pompeii Porta Nocera. Tomb 9OS. Tomb of a magistrate? Two columellae at front of tomb.
Photographed 1970-79 by Günther Einhorn, picture courtesy of his son Ralf Einhorn.
According to Stefano De Caro, in the space in front of the façade five columellae were found, three of which appear in situ in the excavation photos [1954] and only one in tuff is preserved in front of the SE corner of the tomb. In front of this, under a stone slab put for protection, a cinerary urn was found. Two other urns were found in correspondence with the next columella towards the west and one finally "between the fourth and fifth columella". Today [1983], not in situ, a lava columella lies in the area.

View from west side showing the tomb set back from tombs 7OS and 11OS.
This would suggest it is of a pre-Augustan late republican age.
