cecilia metella tomb
The Tomb of Cecilia Metella is one of the nine Rome museums / archaeological sites that may be visited using the Rome Archaeological pass. Below is some background information. The Tomb of Cecilia Metella was built between 50BC and 40BC for the daughter-in-law of Crassus, the richest man in Rome. Nothing is now known about Cecilia, and Lord Byron, inspired by the romance of the site, was to fantasise about this unknown woman in his epic Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage. |
