The pyramid of Caius Cestius, built between 18 and 12 BC is a symbol of a funerary monument and has so a fascination of its perfect geometric form, and is in centrum of Rome; it's like the pyramid as the one of Saqqara in Egypte; situated at the crossroads of two major ancient roads Ostiensis and the Vicus Portae and was built in the ancient Rome during the Augustian period and only the pyramid of Caius Cestius has survived and intact and the inscription Caius Cestius is to see on the facade; he was a priest of a prestigious college in charge of organising ritual sacrificial banquets for the gods and he was inspired by Oriental model of tombs; it's a large travertine stone podium and all the pyramid is constructed with white marble stones. Rome has only this one pyramid and it's a stunning monument to see in center of the city

If by mouth of truth, have a walk the few hundred metres here and see the pyramid as well as this lovely gate, the entrance from Ostia. It is different in looks from other ancient remains in Rome and also in good condition. Don’t miss it.
