Tomb of Priscilla, Ancient Roman tomb on Via Appia Antica, Rome, Italy
The funerary structure features two cylindrical towers built in opus mixtum and opus reticulatum, with thirteen niches intended for statues of the deceased.
The tomb was constructed in the first century for Priscilla, wife of Titus Flavius Abascanto, who served as a freedman under Emperor Domitian.
The burial chamber contains three niches designed for sarcophagi, with walls lined in travertine blocks following Roman architectural traditions.
Visitors can access the funerary cell through a corridor located in the basement of an adjacent house on the ancient Appian Way.
During medieval times, the tomb transformed into a fortress controlled by the counts of Tusculum before passing to the Caetani family.
