Mausoleum of Augustus
In the story · Liz at the Augusteum (ruin and transformation)
A filming location named by fan guides. Liz visits the ruined tomb of the first Roman emperor, which has been sacked, rebuilt and abandoned many times over the centuries, and finds comfort in it: ruin, she writes, can be the road to transformation. The film shows the mausoleum from the air; some of her walk may have been filmed elsewhere.
