Meta Romuli

tomb · 100 BC – 99 AD

The so-called "Meta Romuli" was a pyramidal tomb located in the Ager Vaticanus in Rome. It likely dates to the first century BCE or the first century CE. Its extant superstructure was demolished in 1499. Remains of foundations and pavements that have been associated with the tomb were encountered in 1948-1949 during construction work in the first block of the north side of the present-day Via della Conciliazione.
