Memmius Monument

The Memmius Monument was built in the shape of a four-sided victory crown and was located on the north side of Domitian Square. The pedestal is a bulging local stone and the upper part is of marble. There were four steps leading up t it on all sides. There was an arch on every side and semicircular naves with block figures above them. At the base of each arch was hand carved stone work. Most of the figures were lost. The figures still visible in the monument are of Memmius and his father, Gaius and his grandfather the dictator Sculla. The monument was built in the first century.
