Sextius Florentinus Tomb, Petra Overview
Sextius Florentinus Tomb is a cemetery situated in Wadi Musa, a little ahead of the Royal Tombs in Petra. Built between AD 126 and AD 130, its facade has Latin inscriptions indicating that it is dedicated to the Roman governor Titus Aninius Sextius Florentinus. It is primarily built in the Roman architectural style with certain Nabatean elements and unlike many other tombs around, its interiors are worth exploring.
A slightly eroded gorgon head at the centre of the facade has horned capitals and vine tendrils coming out of it. On the inside are five graves or loculi carved into the back wall and three on the wall to the right of the entrance. An old woman, often referred to as a Bedouin grandmother, sells tea at her shop nearby.
