Tomb of the Scipios on the via Appia.
The last longitudinal gallery on the right.
Rome, Tomb of the Scipios.
Description:
Gallery 11—12 (view from the end 12).
On the right — remains of the sarcophagus of Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Hispanus (H). Parts of the plates of Aniene tufa that bear inscription were changed for copies (originals are in the Vatican Museums); the rest stone parts in situ are authentic.
The designation corresponds to the plan of the Tomb of the Scipios and genealogical tree of the Scipios.
