Tomb of Cicero, Roman mausoleum in Formia, Italy
The cylindrical tower of the tomb reaches 24 meters in height and rests upon a substantial square base measuring 18 meters on each side.
Following his assassination in 43 BC near the Appian Way, Cicero's remains were transported to Formia, where this monumental structure marks his final resting place.
The tomb reflects Roman architectural practices through its circular funeral chamber containing six niches, vaulted ceiling, and central stone pylon supporting the upper structure.
The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours and includes informational panels explaining the historical context and architectural features of the ancient structure.
The eastern entrance retains its original components from antiquity, with scattered architectural elements visible along the perimeter wall following 1950s restoration work.
