Mausoleum of Fiano Romano

in partnership with the Guardia di Finanza and coordinated by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Rome led to the recovery in a private plot of land in Fiano Romano of twelve blocks of marble worked in relief, hidden under a modest layer of topsoil and neatly arranged next to each other.

[2] Together with the blocks, but simply stacked close to them, the lower part of a toga statue, remains of an inscription and numerous elements of frames and decorations were also found.

[2] The subsequent excavations in the area of the discovery, carried out in 2007 by the cultural heritage's office (Sovrintendenza archeologica per l'Etruria Meridionale), allowed to find the base of the imposing tower funerary monument, which according to the inscriptions belonged to a Roman magistrate, on which they were fixed originally the blocks.

[5] The ministry, in compliance with the line of keeping the works in the area of origin, immediately decided to place the blocks in the antiquarium of the archaeological site of Lucus Feroniae,[6] a choice that, given the importance of the artwork, did not fail to raise concerns.

[1] The missing parts do not allow a precise evaluation of the scene represented but various elements, such as weapons and clothes, suggest a single subject depicted in the various episodes.
