discovered in 1919, the funerary monument stood next to one of the main roads into the city, not far from Porta Maggiore, inside the area enclosed by the Aurelian walls in AD 273. The tomb was built before the construction of the walls. Built by Aurelius Felicissimus, as stated in an inscription found inside, it was also intended to house his siblings and fellow freedmen, Aurelius Onesimus, Papirius and Aurelia Prima.
Hypogeum of the Aurelii
Hypogée découvert en 1919 au carrefour entre viale Manzoni et via Luzzatti, et a suscité l'admiration des savants pour le riche cycle de fresques qui ornent les murs et dont l'interprétation reste encore aujourd'hui un problème ouvert.
