SEP. C. ET L. CAESARIS
a
μνημεῖον or tomb of Gaius and Lucius Caesar,
in which the body of Julia Domna was placed in 217 A.D. before being
deposited in the mausoleum of Hadrian (Cass.
Dio lxxviii. 24). This
passage seems to prove that these two Caesars had a separate tomb
and that their ashes were not placed in the mausoleum of Augustus.

On the other hand, it is generally believed that a fragmentary inscription
(
CIL vi. 895 =31195) containing a dedication to Lucius Caesar, although
found in the wall of a private house near the Piazza Capranica, belonged
to a statue of Lucius in the mausoleum of Augustus. Whatever be the
explanation of the statue, it seems unreasonable to doubt the statement
of Dio (HJ 572 ;
Mitt. 1903, 53 ;
Gilb. iii. 306).
