Though the tombs on tlie Appian Way have a tendency to the pyramidal form, yet tlie only actual instance of a pyramid at Rome is the tomb of Caius Ces- tius, close to the Porta S. Paolo ; where it forms a part of the wall itself — Aurelian having drawn his new line of walls so as to cross it. The height of it is 121 ft. ; the width at tlie base 96. It is built of brick cased over with white marble, now blackened by age. In the interior are some paintings on the walls, consisting of five female ...figures, in tolerable pre- servation. Nothing is known of tliis Caius Cestius except from tlie inscrip- tion on the monument itself, wliich informs us that he was one of the Epidones, whose business it was to prepare the Lectisternia, or ban- quets for the gods, on occasion of any public calamity or rejoicing. Note 25. — Tomb of Ccecilia Me- tellii. The Roman tombs usually consisted of a vault, in whicli the urns and sarcophagi were depo- sited, with a chamber above, in which the statues or effigies of the dead were placed, and the libations and obsequies performed.
