Tomb of Idrieus
Labraunda, Turkey
4th century BCE
Doric order
The tomb chamber and its ante-room are corbel-vaulted. Above the chamber is a low relieving chamber under the roof. Both the profiles of the architectural blocks and the vault type indicate a date in the second half of the 4th century BC. A huge gneiss block that once closed the entrance to the tomb can be seen in the forecourt. In the ante-room there was one sarcophagus on each side, built of stone slabs. In the tomb chamber there are three large monolithic sarcophagi.
