Annotations

The Vespasian monument has got its  name because of the inscription placed on its architrave, whicht informs that the monument was erected in honor of Emperor Vespasian. It consists of a central, semi-oval niche and to aediculae on its sides. In the central niche once stood  the statue of Emperor Vespasian.  Aedicule housed female figures.

The  monument played not only decorative or religious function, but also served as a fountain supplied with water from the main aqueduct of the city.
