Mausoleum of Lucilius Paetus, Roman mausoleum on Via Salaria, Rome, Italy
The circular mausoleum extends 34 meters in diameter and rises 16 meters high, featuring travertine marble blocks surrounding a concrete core structure.
During excavations in 1887 at the former Vigna Bertone site, workers uncovered this first-century tomb belonging to military tribune Lucilius Paetus.
The burial chamber contains three niches with funerary beds, reflecting the Roman practice of preparing family tombs during their lifetime.
The mausoleum stands at coordinates 41.915 latitude and 12.496611 longitude, with temporary closure status and pending reopening date announcement.
A marble inscription identifies the tomb's dedication to both Lucilius Paetus and his sister Lucilia Polla, indicating their social position.
