Columbarium of Pomponius Hylas
( Colombario di Pomponio Hylas )
The columborium discovered in 1831 by Pietro
Campana is located not far from the Aurelian
Walls.
Entrance was down a side road off the Via Latina.
The
burial chamber, built in brick-faced concrete, dates
back to the period between Tiberius and
Claudius (14-54 AD), as indicated by two
inscriptions found inside.
The
admirable paintings decorating the walls
of the burial chamber are from the same
period.
