TheTomb of Hilarus Fuscus(Latin: Hilarus Fuscus or Hilarius Fuscus) is afunerary monument located near the fourth mile of theAppian Way or Via Appia Antica, to the southeast ofRome.[1][2]
The tomb was restored byLuigi Canina in the mid-1800s.[3] An inscription bearing the names of those represented on the masonry disappeared in the period between 1978 and 1998. The sculptures are copies: the originals are now in the National Museum of theBaths of Diocletian.[4]
The architecture of the tomb and the analysis of figures (particularly the hairstyle of the women) suggests the tomb was built at end of theRepublican period, the beginning of theImperial age (circa 30 BC).[4]
The tomb is mentioned in theÉmile Zola novelRoma published in 1896.[5]
