<p>A group of five Republican tombs on the E heights of the *Caelius Mons, located outside the Servian Wall (*Muri: Caelius Mons). Three Republican chamber tombs were found during the construction of the Hospital of S. Giovanni (Santa Maria Scrinari, Giannelli 211); the tombs are situated along the *“Via Caelimontana”, just outside the line of the *Aqua Appia. One of the tombs has an especially well-preserved chamber cut into the living tufa rock (<i>c</i>. 3 x 2.5 m: Santa Maria Scrinari fig. 1), and the finds associated with it suggest a date in the late 4th to early 3rd c. B.C. (Santa Maria Scrinari 19-24). Fragmentary remains uncovered during the same campaign suggest a fourth tomb stood nearby (Santa Maria Scrinari 17-18), while a fifth Republican tomb was found in 1887 (Colini 307, cf. 304 for 16th-c. accounts of other tomb finds in the vicinity). These tombs are important, both as rare examples of pre-Imperial building on the Caelius Mons, and as data pertaining to the debated course of the Servian Wall (s.v. Muri: Caelius Mons).</p>
