In 2019 professor Roberto Brunelli photographed the sunset in the Mausoleum of Romulus on the Appian way in Rome, near the Circus and the Villa of Maxentius. 
Thanks to him we discovered that the Mausoleum was astronomically oriented towards the Sunset at the winter Solstice, in the days related to Sol Invictus. 
This illumination (hierophany) had a particular symbolic meaning linked to the legitimation of the imperial power of Maxentius.
