Tomb of Geta, Archaeological site near Via Appia, Rome, Italy
The Tomb of Geta stands along the ancient Via Appia road, featuring structural elements that reflect Roman burial architecture from the early third century.
Emperor Caracalla ordered the assassination of his brother Geta in December 211, leading to the removal of Geta's name from inscriptions across the Roman Empire.
The tomb represents Roman funeral practices of the Severan dynasty, when imperial family members received grand burial monuments near important roads.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking bus 118 from Circo Massimo metro station to Via Appia Antica during regular visiting hours.
The burial structure maintains traces of the damnatio memoriae decree, showing deliberate alterations made to erase references to Emperor Geta.
