This is one of the most emblematic monuments of the city. Located next to the Via Augusta about six kilometres from Tàrraco, it is a typical example of a tower-shaped funeral monument. It has a square base (4.47 x 4.72 metres), with three superimposed bodies of decreasing size. On one facade of the second (middle) body there are two high-relief figures representing Atis (a god of oriental origin related to the funeral cult). The erroneous identification of these sculptures as the Scipio brothers was the origin of the name traditionally given to this monument. Judging by its characteristics, it was built in the first half of the first century AD.
