| Description |
Stopped here on the way back from Ostia, just to get this picture. After this I start the tour I was here to take and to travel around Italy. The Pyramid of Cestius was built about 18 BC–12 BC as a tomb for Caius Cestius, a magistrate and member of one of the four great religious corporations at Rome, the Septemviri Epulonum. It is of brick-faced concrete covered with slabs of white marble standing on a travertine foundation, measuring 100 Roman feet (29.6 m) square at the base and standing 125 Roman feet (37 m) high. The Porta San Paolo, its original name was Porta Ostiensis because it was located of the beginning of via Ostiense, the road that connected Rome and Ostia where it functioned as its main gate. The gatehouse is flanked by two cylindrical towers, and has two entrances, which had been covered by a second, single-opening gate, built in front of the first by Belisarius (530s–540s). |
