At Nola the remains of a monumental funerary structure came to light in via Traversa S. Agata, close to one of the Roman funerary monuments known as the “Torricelle”. Its lower part was well preserved and it occupied the entire width of the modern road. This was a mausoleum built of two blocks placed one on the other: a square base (circa 7 x 7 m), probably topped by a cylindrical crowning closed by a dome, which was not preserved. The base, preserved to circa three quarters of its original height, comprised walls built in opus caementicium, faced with large limestone slabs. The entrance, on the northern side, with two doors and preceded by an upward sloping ramp, led into the small burial chamber (circa 2.93 x 2.56 m) with a “cruciform” plan. The internal walls, divided into symmetrical arches (circa 2 x 0.75 m), presented a facing of very fine ivory coloured stucco overlying a brick facing with a thin layer of plaster (average thickness 3 cm). The _opus signinum_ floor was finished with a thin layer of red plaster. Three pairs of niches opened in the thickness of the walls (circa 0.80 x 0.40 x 0.37 m) below the arches on the east, west and south sides, to house the cinerary urns, that were not found. The lower part was occupied by three masonry built funerary beds (2 x 0.19 x 0.75 m) that were also plastered and faced with a thin layer of stucco of the same type and colour as that on the floor. A first examination of the structure, already abandoned and subject to robbing during the 3rd century A.D., dated its original layout to the end of the 1st century B.C. - beginning of the 1st century A.D.
