    I can see where you're coming from in regards to the monument possibly being a 'crypt', but I think it has more in common with the Ara Pacis Augustae than anything else. The stairs on my example are indeed worn away but can be seen on better preserved specimens.

    I'm not too knowledgeable about this issue but I'm glad to learn. Now I also learned something about the Ars Pacis.

    With some apologies for my poor photography I thought I would share my one and only Cistophorus.
