The Drusus Stone (also called the Eigel Stone or Eichel Stone) is a nearly 20 m high, originally solid cast masonry block of Roman origin located on the grounds of the Mainz Citadel. Researchers now largely agree that this is the structural remnant of the cenotaph (false grave) for the Roman general Drusus, mentioned by ancient authors such as Eutropius and Suetonius.[1][2] The Roman troops under his command erected the cenotaph after his death in 9 BC in Roman Mogontiacum, present-day Mainz.
