Tomb of Eurysaces the Baker, Ancient Roman funeral monument at Porta Maggiore, Italy
The trapezoidal structure features three rows of cylindrical holes representing kneading machines used in Roman bakeries, with travertine blocks covering its walls.
The tomb, built around 30 BCE, remained hidden within medieval defensive towers until Pope Gregory XVI ordered their demolition in 1838.
The frieze decorations display the complete bread-making process, from grain milling to baking, reflecting the professional life of baker Marcus Vergilius Eurysaces.
The monument stands at Piazzale Labicano, between Via Labicana and Via Prenestina, near the intersection of several tram lines from Termini Station.
The burial urn of Atistia, Eurysaces wife, takes the shape of a bread basket, underlining the connection between the tomb design and baking profession.
