The Mausoleo di Augusto (English: Mausoleum of Augustus or the Augustus Mausoleum) was a landmark in the northern section of the Centro District in Rome.[1]
The Mausoleum itself was a circular structure with large walls and housed a smaller, round, roofed structure with a tree growing out of it. Ezio Auditore visited the Mausoleum several times during his travels, meeting with Niccolò Machiavelli and assisting a courtesan in distress there.[1]
Database entry
If you were anyone of importance in Rome and died between 24 B.C.E and 98 C.E you were buried in here. Occupied by the Colonna family in the Middle Ages, the Mausoleo was fortified and converted into part of the Castel Sant' Angelo. Yes, they lived with dead people.
After the humiliating defeat of the Commune of Rome in 1167, the Colonna family was disgraced, banished from the city and their fortification was dismantled. Later, the family was allowed back into Rome and spent the duration of the Renaissance feuding with the rival Orsini family. If this teaches us anything, it's that if you want to get rid of someone, hang them, because banishment is far too temporary.[1]
Trivia
- The Mausoleo is one of the Territories that can be bought in Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy.[2]
- The mausoleum is much larger in reality than it is portrayed in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
