The monument is unique for its history encrusted with myth and legend and owing to its architecture, which is often found in the Etruscan tombs in Volterra.
The monument is entirely constructed out of large rectangular blocks of peperino stone; four truncated cones stood at each corner of the square base and probably a more imposing fifth one on a central drum shaped plinth.
Built during the Republican Age, the mausoleum can have no relation to the Horatii and Curiatii brothers and scholars believe that it was a reconstruction of the tomb of Arunte, created by the Arruntia family which presided over the area.
