The pyramid of Cestius (in Italian, Piramide Cestia) is a Roman Era pyramid in Rome, Italy, near the Porta San Paolo and the Protestant Cemetery. It was built about 18–12 BC as a tomb for Gaius Cestius, a magistrate and member of one of the four great religious corporations in Rome- it stands at the beginning of the Via Ostiensis. Due to its incorporation into the city's fortifications, it is today one of the best-preserved ancient buildings in Rome. the pyramid measures 100 Roman feet (29.6 m) square at the base and stands 125 Roman feet (37 m) high.
