Tomb of the Plautii, Roman funerary structure near Ponte Lucano, Tivoli, Italy.

The circular mausoleum, covered with travertine blocks, features an inner corridor surrounding a cross-shaped room and contains multiple inscribed marble slabs.

Built in the first century AD, the tomb belonged to the Plautii family, with Marcus Plautius Silvanus, a consul during Augustus' reign, mentioned in its central frieze.

The inscriptions on marble slabs supported by Ionic half-columns preserve the names and achievements of deceased members from the influential Plautii lineage.

The tomb stands near the Aniene River and remains accessible for visitors interested in exploring early Roman Empire funerary architecture.

Pope Paul II transformed the structure into a defensive tower in 1465, adding medieval battlements that remain visible alongside his papal emblem today.
