the first four are omitted. There are certain unimportant differences
betweeri the text of our artist and that given in C.I.L. which seem to be
due to errors on the part of the former. In Sept. 1. 17, 18 we may note the
variants ortorum ortaqueatio [sic], and in Dec. 1. 20, 21. j. iemii [sic]
sacrum.
For the representation of the dial compare Boissard, Romauae Urbis
Topographia, iii. (1597) 14C-142.
The signs of the Zodiac in the rectangular spaces above the inscription
relating to each month are omitted by Coner, but were drawn without the
inscriptions by Pierre Jacques (Salomon Reinach, L'album de Pierre
Jacques, Pl. 42 bis, 43), and eight of them also by Antonio da Sangallo il
Giovane in his drawing (Uffizi 2108) of the first and last inscribed sides.
He also shows the representations of men leading horses, which occupied
the large upper rectangular panels on these two sides.
Cf. Cod. Coburgensis 124 (Matz, Berlin. Monatsber. 1871,478). Michaelis
also cites an engraving in Lafreri's Speculum Urbis Romae, but the plate
is not to be found in any copy of the Speculum known to me.
49. (45v). 'estra pontem lucanum.'
A representation of the facade-like wall in front of the mausoleum of
the Plautii at Ponte Lucano on the Via Tiburtina. The inscriptions
(C./.L. xiv. 3606-3608) cut on large slabs of marble, were placed in this
between Corinthian half-columns of travertine, and the first and last of
them are still in situ ; our artist only shows C.I.L. xiv. 3606, with one or
two errors in the text, due to carelessness, as the inscription is perfectly
easy to read. On the right are details of the arched niche in the facade.
For the bibliography relative to the mausoleum, see C.I.L. cit.
50. (45). A crane, shown in use for hoisting a block of stone for
a cornice.
51. (46) a. 'palatii neru{a)e imp.'
An elevation of part of the enclosing wall of the Forum of Augustus,
with an archway piercing it—not the so-called Arco dei Pantani, close to
the temple of Mars Ultor (which is on a skew), but one of the smaller
arches further to the north.
