As is common with all Roman cities, the roads leading into Tarraco were flanked by funerary monuments.

The sculptures carved of local stone on display in the room almost certainly belonged to memorial tombs of the Late-Republican era.

On the southern part of the Via Augusta, which linked the city to Barcino, there was a large Imperial-period necropolis. The bust of a male figure came from here. We do not know the original location of the two funerary figures of Atis.
