An artist's reconstruction of what the "tomb complex" might have looked like. The via Appia is on the right side of the picture.
This funeral building is located 1.5 mi. northwest of the Italian city of Formia on the via Appia—about 40 mi. northwest of Puzzuoli/Naples. It is dated to the second half of the first century B.C. It is said to be the funeral monument erected in memory of the orator Cicero (106-43 B.C.). Since it is on the via Appia, Paul would have passed by it on his way from Puteoli to Rome (Acts 28:11–16).
