The faces of the pyramid were far steeper than its [[Egypt]]ian ~~ancestor~~, due to erroneous sketches of the Egyptian pyramids, which acted as the chief reference for its construction.<ref name="Database" />		It was also built into the bulwark, forming a triangular bastion in an effort to cut costs on the snowballing wall project between 271 and 275, during the construction of the [[Aurelian Walls]].
