Fabara Zaragoza, Spain.
About 13 km E of Caspe. Not mentioned in ancient sources. A large tomb in the
shape of a rectangular temple has survived, prostyle tetrastyle, with shallow
pronaos and naos. The four columns of the facade are of the Tuscan order, with
smooth shafts carrying an Ionic entablature with frieze decorated with garlands.
The lateral walls have attached pilasters. Only a portion of the pediment is preserved,
bearing an inscription stating that the monument is dedicated to the shades of
Lucius Aemilius Lupus (CIL II Supp., 5851). Construction is in large stone blocks
bound by iron clamps. In the interior at the left of the naos a stairway descends
to a vaulted sepulchral crypt. The date of the monument is uncertain.
