The Tumba de Servilia is a notable tomb located at the Carmo Necropolis in Carmona, Spain. The tomb was constructed in the 1st century A.D. by Lucius Servilius Pollio, a wealthy oil merchant who held several magistracies. The tomb was constructed to be a mausoleum for the Servilii family; it resembles a Roman villa with its own courtyard and is a display of wealth and status as well as a mausoleum. The tomb is surrounded by columns. The tomb contains two burial chambers, a larger one, which was likely intended to house a sarcophagus and a smaller one which was for urns. The interior walls of the tomb are adorned with schematic drawings of natural imagery.
