Near the monumental gates, along the edges of the Tratturo, there are the urban necropolises. Until the last century, the possibility of recovering the moulded elements of tombs, aedicules and funerary monuments from the ground led to a slow spoliation of the burial areas. The markers that identified the places of memory and deposition have in fact been reused in the nearby rural farms to reconstruct living spaces. At the beginning of the 20th century, through a meticulous survey of the remaining blocks dispersed on the ground, it was possible to reconstruct and restore the monumental tombsof important figures of the municipal aristocracy. Near Porta Benevento, the imposing monument dedicated to Caius Ennius Marsus has been partially recomposed in its shape of a cylindrical drum on a square base, funerary architecture typical of the Augustan period inspired by the imperial mausoleum. In the centre of the front façade there is an inscription bearing the cursus honorum of the holder accompanied by bas-reliefs that allude to the military and civil career of the deceased: the sella curulis, a folding seat prerogative of the magistrate with two fasces lictoriae; the capsa, a cylindrical case for storing rolls and codices; the suppedaneum, a stool to rest your feet. On the sides of the base there are two sculptures of lions in the act of crushing the head of a warrior with one paw, while a third lion is part of the collection of the Lapidarium.
