Two long inscriptions are yet remaining, one of these says: "M. Plautius M. F. A. N. / Silvanus / cos. VII vir epulon., / huic senatus triumphalia / ornamenta decrevit / ob res in Ilyrico / bene gestas. / Lartia Cn. f. uxor. / A. Plautius M. F. / Urgulanius / vix. ann. IX." (Marcus Plautius Sylvanus, his wife Lartia and his son Aulus were buried in the mausoleum and that Marcus had been consul, septemvir of the Epulones and was honoured by the Senate with the triumphal ornaments for having conducted well the affairs of Illyricum.
Ponte Lucano
The battlements, at the top of building, prove that it was used by Pope Paul II, for its strategic position, as a fortress during the Middle Ages.
Many landscape painters loved this place, among the others Giovan Battista Piranesi and E.R. Franz who dedicated one of thier etchings to Ponte Lucano and Mausoleum of Plautii.
