Kasserine - Mausoleum of Flavius

Some 600m/660yds farther west (200m/220yds beyond the bridge over the Oued Derb), opposite the Governor's Office, is another tower-mausoleum, in an excellent state of preservation, of similar type to the Numidian mausoleum at Dougga. It is of three storys, with a 110-line inscription on the base lauding the virtues of its founder, Flavius Secundus, buried here with his family. The middle section of the tomb is decorated with half-columns; there is a niche on the third section which once contained a statue of Flavius; and the whole structure was originally crowned by a pyramidal roof.
