Built around 50 AD, with an internal diameter of 15 m [50 feet], it had to be more than 6 m [20 feet] high to be visible to all those passing through or arriving in the Roman colony of Vienne, particularly from the Rhone River. This shows the importance of the person whose burial place it was, who, even in death, must still have been present in the world of the living.

The wooden water pipe discovered in Leuven, dating from 1st to 3rd century A.D., is a remarkable find, as it is the first intact Roman wooden pipe in Flanders.
