I visited Rome in 1982 and viewed the Mausoleum from the outside. At that time it was neglected and weed strewn. I could not find much information about the history. Thank you for your in depth knowledge!

Great job. Visited Rome six times, always wondered why this site was ignored. Took my 4 grandchildren to Rome in Feb 2023. Was delighted to see the restoration work.

It must have been an incredible sight in antiquity with the fields, groves and the sun dial.

Very anxious to tour the Mausoleum myself. Enjoyed hearing about all the people interred here but wonder where they were moved to and by whom. Wonder, too, if there's any discussion about moving them back at some point. It's hard to imagine the Campus Martius area being so devoid of structures so it was enlightening to see the model laying out the Mausoleum in relationship to the Pantheon. I'd heard once that the Pantheon was built on a hill and subsequent deposits from flooding by the Tiber raised the level of the ground around it over time. If that's true, I wonder if it was same for the Mausoleum. Great lesson...thanks!šŸ™‚

All the Julio Claudian Emperors and many family members were once entombed in the Masoleum of Augustus at one point in time.

The point at 12:30 where the camera shoots the dome of the Pantheon over the roof tops of Rome made it for me. I never knew the two buildings were aligned, much less on purpose!

Well Done! The importance of this structure to Caesar Augustus and his family can not be overstated. The symbology of the Pantheon within eyeshot of the mausoleum speaks volumes of how Augustus wanted to be remembered. I wonder , was it Agrippa's gift to Augustus to construct both?

Thank you for this informative video. Really helpful. Now, In light of all the new findings that you explain, I hope they change that dated and inaccurate mockup. As you said in another vid of yours on this structure, the contemporaryTropaeum Alpium, near Nice, France,-or even the ancient Mausoleum of Halicarnassus itself- should be leads ua as to how this structure must have looked like (instead of a "wedding cake" with a bunch of trees on it, as seen in this mockup). It looks so pedestrian like this, rather than monumental, as Tropaeum is. A large hill with trees with a monument on it, not under it!

It is kind of touching that an entire family rested there for eternity. Too bad the ā€œBarbariansā€ dispersed the ashes and it was allowed to get into such ruin. It would be awesome to have it totally restored, but one shudders to think of the cost. As usual, Darius brings the best content.šŸ‘

Darius, are there ever any remains of these emperors or their family members found in these crypts or mausoleums? Or just the headstones and placards? I wonder because dna testing of remains would be interesting to see lineage between them all. Is that at all a route being explored?

Iā€™m guessing that General Grant is buried in Augustusā€™s tombā€¦

I have trouble with the concept of the tombs of such important people to the history of Rome. To me, it would be like turning Lincoln's tomb into a disco club or St Paul's in London razed for a car park. I've visited both Hadrian's and Augustus' tombs.
