Roman Funerary Monuments

The Majority of Roman Funerary monuments lie outside of the city. Two notable exceptions are the Mausoleum of Augustus and the column of Trajan.. Several important tombs line the Appian Way south of the city.. Romans believed that the soul would only rest in peace if the body was disposed of properly. The most popular method of disposing the body was to cremate it and store the ashes in a tomb..
