Tomb of Servilia

The Tomb of Servilia (1st-2nd century AD) is the largest tomb in the Roman Necropolis of Carmona, near Seville, Spain. Built on a Hellenistic model, it resembles a luxurious Roman villa with a large porticoed courtyard and underground gallery leading to a trapezoidal vaulted main chamber topped by a domed ceiling with an oculus. Discovered in 1885 by George Bonsor and Juan Fernandez Lopez, the tomb contained a marble statue of its namesake along with an altar, cinerary urns, a kitchen, a bath, and a well. The necropolis was first opened to the public in 1885 and remains one of the most important Roman burial sites in Iberia.
