shape of a four-sided victory crown
and was located on the north side of
Domitian Square. The pedestal is a
bulging local stone and the upper
part is of marble. here were four
steps leading up t it on all sides.
There was an arch on every side and
semicircular naves with block
figures above them. At the base of
each arch was hand carved stone
work. Most of the figures were lost.
The figures still visible in the
monument are of Memmius and his
father, Gaius and his grandfather
