You may add additional artwork to your tomb.  One commonly-appearing element in tombs, especially in the 1st century BC to the first century AD was the relief sculpture portraits that appeared on the front of larger tomb monuments.  The sculptures sometimes doubled as the monument inscription as they frequently include the names of the people depicted.

You may include one of these works of art on your tomb for 25,000 sestertii per person depicted.  Include the sculpture on the drawing of your tomb.
