The Arcade Tomb in Šempeter, Slovenia - an attempt at a reconstruction

Abstract

The article presents the reconstruction of the fifth tomb from Šempeter - the Arcade Tomb. It is composed of a closed, probably two-tiered, socle with an accentuated vertical division, an open upper storey with a canopy in its interior, and covered by a gabled roof. It takes the form of an aedicula tomb, more precisely an aedicula tomb with several intercolumniations and a portico. Its particular feature, however, is the form of the upper storey. This shows a combination of two types of funerary monuments, and aedicula and a baldachin tomb, combined here in a single tomb.

Keywords: Šempeter v Savinjski dolini, Roman peroid, archaeology, Noricum, funerary architecture
