Mausoleum of Augustus
The Mausoleum of Augustus has the typical structure of Etruscan tumulus tombs and was the burial place of the emperor's family.
Erected in 29 B.C. after the conquest of Egypt, in the twelfth century it was transformed into a fortress for the Colonna family. Then it became an arena for bullfights and in the nineteenth century was used as a concert and circus hall.
Only in 1926 did archaeological research begin. Three niches were uncovered, containing the ashes of Augustus and of his wife Livia, his sister Ottavia, and his nephews Caius and Lucius Caeser.
The mausoleum is circular, ringed by internal corridors. At the summit of the tumulus, covered by cypresses, the statue of the emperor was erected.
