Inside the Mausoleum of Augustus

The Mausoleum of Augustus, resting place of the first Roman emperors, was closed for decades. But a few months ago, after a massive restoration project, the Mausoleum was reopened to the public, allowing visitors to explore the ancient passageways and burial chamber within. I would like to thank Gina Carpinito and Riccardo Di Cecco for making my visit to the Mausoleum possible.
