This columbarium, of the middle of the 1st century A.D., was discovered in 1866 in the Villa Wolkonsky, on an ancient road which ran parallel with the Arcus Caelimontani of the Aqua Claudia (q. v. I, p. 37). The three-storeyed structure was built for Tiberius Claudius Vitalis by members of his family, of whom two were called "architectus" (CIL VI, 9151).
