Underneath the building facing the cemetery, which is currently used for storage, a brick mausoleum is still preserved around which are some <em>cupae<\/em>, a mound tomb and some parallelepiped-shaped ollari. In the early medieval period the necropolis occupied the hill, on whose sides were excavated chamber tombs with inhumations in arcosolium, decorated with frescoes and mosaics. Nineteenth-century work revealed numerous chamber tombs; in particular, two cubicula, named Jonah&#8217;s and Munazio Ireneo&#8217;s, were found. The former featured a fresco depicting scenes from the cycle of the prophet Jonah, taken from the Old Testament; the latter bears the name of the deceased that can be obtained from an inscription embedded in the back wall. The frescoes, in very poor condition, deteriorated irretrievably in a short time; the Municipality of Cagliari took care of the preservation of the two cubicles, incorporating them into the modern cemetery and carrying out some masonry works and arrangement of the access.     <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":108406,"template":"","meta":{"COMUNE":[],"note":[],"indirizzo":[],"accessibilita_mezzi":[],"coordinates":[],"images":[],"adesioni":[],"footnotes":""},"monumento_tipologia":[681],"accessibilita":[],"accessibilita_mezzi":[711],"class_list":["post-101712","monumento","type-monumento","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","monumento_tipologia-bene-archeologico-en","accessibilita_mezzi-bus-ctm-accompagnatore"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/101712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/monumento"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/101712\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108409,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/101712\/revisions\/108409"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"monumento_tipologia","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumento_tipologia?post=101712"},{"taxonomy":"accessibilita","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibilita?post=101712"},{"taxonomy":"accessibilita_mezzi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibilita_mezzi?post=101712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
