The Mausoleum of Caecilia Metella: integrated survey and preliminary architectural analyses

This paper provides an overview of the Mausoleum of Caecilia Metella in Rome and of an integrated survey campaign based on terrestrial laser scanning and aerial/terrestrial photogrammetry, aimed at producing a research-grade model of the monument. Based on these data, an on-site autoptic analysis was carried out focusing on material traces that characterize the different phases of reuse, from the post-antique period to the nineteenth century. Particular attention is devoted to revising the chronological attribution of the elevated opening in opus quadratum drum.
