Mausoleum on Augustus’ tomb found near Lyon –

A special mausoleum based on the monumental tomb of Augustus, near Lyon was found in Saint-Romain-en-Gal. The structure is the only one among 18 tumor mausoleums found in France, which is sufficient to confirm that it is circular in design, such as the tomb of Augustus.

Built about 50 AD with an inner diameter of 15 m [50 feet]must exceed 6 m [20 feet] High can be seen for all those who pass or arrive in the Roman colony, especially those who arrive from the Rhône River.

This shows the importance of that man is that “even in death, he must exist in the world of life. Most certainly, a man belonging to the noble elite has a significant political role and is associated with imperial power,” Giulia Ciucci explained, [Gallo-Roman Museum’s] Archaeological site. In fact, the mausoleum of Saint-Romain-en-Gal was actually built on the model of Augustus in Rome (BC-14 AD 27 AD), the first Roman emperor.

Roman city Vienna (Colon Julia Vienna) Built on Julius Caesar converted Gallic oppidum to Colony that conquered Gaul’s veterans. It was one of the earliest cities to integrate Roman military retirees and Gaul elites and became an early example of Gallic Romanization. It covers an area composed today, including three adjacent towns – Vienna, St. Columbia and St. Romani – Gael – but all remains of the main buildings of the Roman city, including the Temple of Augustus and Livia, Oldton, circus, circus, public bathrooms and theaters, are in the modern city of Vienna. Saint-Romain-en-Gal did not have huge public buildings until the 19th century when huge mosaic floors appeared.

The area where the grave was found was excavated, as the special rustic calendar mosaic, now on permanent display in the Museum of Gallo-Roman, was discovered there in 1891. Mosaic is one of the largest and most complete descriptions of agricultural labor and can survive from Oncort Rome. Only two other large-scale agricultural calendar mosaics are comparable, one in El-Jem, Tunisia, and the other in Zliten, Libya and Saint-Romain-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-en-gal mosaics have the most surviving panels.

In the original 40 character panel, twenty-seven remain within the outer boundary of black and white tiles, the plant arabesques and Guilloche knots are arranged within the outer boundary of the plant arabesques and Guilloche knots, and each panel is listed. They centered around the four panels representing the season, and agricultural activities were conducted around the panels of the season they took place. This intricate masterpiece decorates the floor of a luxurious dome built on the banks of the Rhone in the first quarter of the 3rd century.

The purpose of the excavation this summer is to reveal more of the original mosaic environment, backgrounds that have never been documented with modern archaeological methods and techniques. A team of professional archaeologists and students dug test pits and investigated the area in public view. They discovered the foundations of a 19th-century house built on a semicircular cell surrounding the central cemetery.

The excavation this summer ended before the burial room was excavated. Work will resume next summer, and archaeologists hope they will find references to outstanding figures with wealth and political power to imitate the emperor in his funeral grandeur.
