The double-chambered Rhomaios Tomb, built of limestone, was named after Professor K. Rhomaios who excavated it. Its facade consists of a double-leaved marble door and four Ionic half-columns supporting a two-tiered entablature with a decorative frieze and a simple triangular pediment.
In contrast to the ornamented antechamber, the burial chamber was simply decorated, but contained -- in addition to the limestone couch on which the body was laid -- a richly and artistically crafted marble throne, and an exceptional footstool, with sphinxes carved in the round and painted decoration.
