Yuliev Mausoleum

Cenotaph in St-Remy-de-Provence, cenotaph
France, Saint-Remy-de-Provence
The Juliev Mausoleum dates from the first years of our era. The cenotaph was found during excavations in 1921 in the Glanum archaeological zone, on the Antik Plateau. The ancient Roman monument, towering above the plain, was erected in memory of the two young nephews of Augustus - Caius and Lucia, who tragically died during the war. The mausoleum was built in three stages, decorated with floral motifs, theatrical masks and scenes from legendary battles and Greek myths.

On the southern outskirts of Saint-Remy-de-Provence, on the opposite side of the road from the Monastery of Saint-Paul-de-Musol, on Avenue Vincent Van Gogh is the Mausoleum (cenotaph). It was erected in memory of the two nephews of Augustus - Kai and Lucius, who died very young on the battlefield. The pedestal of the mausoleum is decorated with reliefs and images of various battles. Dated to the 1st century AD. If you are interested in ancient Roman themes, you can separately visit Glanum, where excavations have been carried out for almost a hundred years.
