Mausoleo di Augusto, the tomb of the Emperor Augustus, to open in Rome

(CNN) — He was the first Roman emperor, who took over from Julius Caesar and built an empire that would eventually stretch from the UK to Egypt, boasting on his death bed that "I found Rome built of bricks, and left it marble."
But the emperor Augustus didn't exactly get paid in kind when he died in 14CE.
His tomb -- a huge, circular mausoleum, which was the largest in the city when it was built -- was abandoned for centuries.
With its roof fallen in and the cypresses planted around it left to grow wild, it has long been a far cry from the carefully preserved Colosseum and Roman Forum.
