Piramide di Caio Cestio, or the Pyramid of Cestius, is an Egyptian-style pyramid in Rome, Italy near Porta San Paola. It was built about 30 BC and is a part of the wall surrounding the Protestant Cemetery, Rome. The original intent of the pyramid was as a tomb for Cestius, although who Cestius was is still a matter of debate.
