<p>Monumental tomb on the S side of *Monte Testaccio which belonged to a member of the Rusticelii family (<i>CIL</i> VI 11534) and was built sometime between the mid-2nd and mid-1st c. B.C. Excavated in the 1690s during the construction of a wine cellar (Fontana 296), the monument’s precise topographical location seems not to have been properly surveyed (Rodríguez Almeida, esp. fig. 9 for a reconstruction). Our map follows the approximate location suggested by Lanciani (<i>FUR</i> pl. 44).</p> <p>The size of the monument was roughly 10 x 10 m in plan and constructed extensively in tufa stone; thus both in design and execution it must have been quite similar to the nearby *Sepulcrum: Ser. Sulpicius Galba. Rodríguez Almeida (40 n.3) suggests an early 1st-c. B.C. date for the monument, while Blake lists it among the structures of 78 to 48 B.C. Recently a much earlier mid-2nd c. B.C. date for the monument has been proposed, based on the “external aspects” of its construction and the inscription (Verzár-Bass n.72; Fontana).</p>
