The tour begins from the Piramid of Cestius THE Sepulchre OF Gaius Cestius who had been a member of the important religious corporation of the Epulones and who had ordered his own funeral monument which was built in only three hundred days. The pyramid is 35 metres high and covered in Carrara marble. At the time of construction of the Aurelian walls it was incorporated in the circuit of the walls. Next to the pyramid we will visit Porta San Paolo in whose towers is the museum of the Via Ostiense the road which connected Rome to its port in Ostia. The tour continues in Testaccio, the artificial hill made of discarded ancient roman amphorae which were used to transport oil from Spain
