The 1st century BCE tomb of Marcus Vergilius Eurysaces at Porta Maggiore is better known as the Tomb of the Baker.

33' high and covered with marble, this was an imposing monument for a wealthy man, but most likely a self-made man. Eurysaces is believed to have run a successful bakery business. Although it is not specified in the inscription, it is likely that he was a freedman (libertus) or the son of a freedman, due to his name being a mixture of roman/Latin nomen and praenomen with a Greek-sounding last name (cognomen).

From the detailed carvings around the top we learn much about the various stages of bread production in roman times, including the use of domed ovens of a type still used for pizza today.

The tomb is in such good condition, despite its location close to the city centre, because in the early 400s the emperor Honorius added more fortified towers to the Aurelian Walls, and the tomb was enclosed in the structure of one of these towers until 1838 when the tower was demolished.
