History
A villa in Tibur that has been incorrectly linked to Gaius Cassius Longinus. In the eighteenth century, the site produced a cache of Egyptianizing sculpture that likely dates to the reign of Hadrian and is now held in the Vatican Museums.

The Barrington Atlas Directory notes: Cassio, so-called Villa of Cassius
At least three terraces are present at the site. One constructed in the polygonal technique raises the issue of an earlier architectural phase.
