Isola Sacra Necropolis, Roman necropolis in Fiumicino, Italy
The Isola Sacra necropolis contains over 200 funerary structures arranged along Via Flavia, featuring square rooms with barrel vault ceilings and decorative brick facades.
The site operated from the first to fourth century AD, established during Emperor Trajan's reign when the artificial island was created between Portus and Ostia.
The tomb inscriptions reveal a middle-class population of merchants, traders, and freed slaves, with representations of various professions displayed on the structures.
The archaeological park provides educational panels, interactive maps, and thematic paths, with integrated tickets available for exploring nearby Ostia Antica monuments.
Latin and Greek inscriptions above tomb doors detail personal information about the deceased, including their professions, final wishes, and social status.
