Description
Ancient Rome allowed no tombs within its walls, not even that of an emporer. So Emperor Hadrian erected this monument for his tomb, build between 130 and 139 CE. The mausoleum was a huge cylinder (210' X 70') topped by a cypress grove and a huge statue of Hadrian himself. Roman emporers were buried here until ~ CE 217. Legend has it that the Archangel Michael appeared above the mausoleum to Pope Gregory the Great. Sheathing his sword, the angel signaled the end of a plague, thus lending the structure its name: Holy Angel.
