| Summary: | The mausoleum of Vervoz-Fecheroux, erected in the civitas Tungrorum, has been known for a long time and was recently further investigated on the basis of an exhaustive inventory of four hundred and two fragments displayed, for the most significant pieces, at the Grand Curtius in Liege (Belgium). The mausoleum is comparable to the famous funeral monument of the legionnaire Lucius Poblicius and his family in Cologne (Germany). It reveals, about 150 m from the agglomeration of Vervoz, crossed by the Tongeren-Metz roadway, the presence of a local elite, probably a veteran and his family, settled in the eastern part of the Condrustis pagus in the first half of the 1st century AD. Built on a podium, the mausoleum was surrounded by six tombs, the oldest of which was a child’s circular Italic-style stone tomb. |
