The Tomb of Sextius Florentinus. It was named after the Roman Governor of the Province of Arabia, who was in office at the time of Hadrian in AD 127. The Latin inscription above the doorway states that the monument was built by his son, following the will of his father. A carved head of a fertility goddess is on the segmented pediment and is crowned by an (eroded) eagle. A niche is carved in the rear wall. Text from notice on site.
