the tomb of erotes consists of a single vaulted chamber and a "dromos" (entrance passageway) of stone and bricks. the burial chamber is reminiscent of a residential room; it is built of poros stone plastered with white mortar. during the excavation were found two replicas of painted stone thrones bearing relief decoration. at the rear corners of the burial chamber were two marble bed-shaped sarcophagi. the tomb had been pillaged. among the findings today exhibited in the new york metropolitan museum, are bronze vases and clay statuettes of erotes (amors), which inspired the tomb's conventional name. above the tomb was uncovered a stone-built construction, probably the basis of a sepulchre.
