The Arcade Tomb in Šempeter, Slovenia- an attempt at a reconstruction
Abstract
The article presents the reconstruction of the fifth tombfrom Šempeter - the Arcade Tomb. It is composed of a closed,probably two-tiered, socle with an accentuated vertical divi-sion, an open upper storey with a canopy in its interior, andcovered by a gabled roof. It takes the form of an aedicula tomb,more precisely an aedicula tomb with several intercolumnia-tions and a portico. Its particular feature, however, is the formof the upper storey. This shows a combination of two types offunerary monuments, and aedicula and a baldachin tomb,combined here in a single tomb
