Bovillae, Archaeological remains at Frattocchie, Italy.

The archaeological site contains remnants of a circus constructed by Tiberius in 14 AD and an octagonal mausoleum along the Via Appia Roman road.

Located 18 kilometers from Rome, Bovillae served as a station on the Via Appia and became a member of the thirty cities in the Latin League.

Following Alba Longa's destruction around 658 BC, Bovillae inherited sacred religious ceremonies, including the worship of Vesta and rituals of the Julian family.

Modern visitors can observe ancient Roman architecture through a glass walkway installed at the McDonald's restaurant, displaying a 150-foot section of original street.

The site gained historical significance when Augustus's body was received by horsemen at this location during its final journey to Rome.
