British School at Rome: Papers of the British School at Rome (2.1904)

36 The British School at Rome.
55. (48v).
The pyramid of C. Cestius.
The inscription (C.I.L. vi. 1374) has, as in the preceding instances, been
carelessly copied.
56. (49)
The arch of Titus ; the buildings on each side of it, which belonged
to the mediaeval fortifications of the Frangipani, are omitted. The in-
scription (C.I.L. vi. 945) is correctly given.
57. (49v) 'estra roma(m) apud S. Sebastianu^ii)?
The tomb of Caecilia Metella on the Appian Way.
Some liberties have been taken with the representation ; for the door
is not really on the side facing the Via Appia, but on the S.E. side:
whereas the tablet for the inscription (which is also shown) naturally was
so placed as to be visible from the road.
58. (No number : the back shows signs of having been pasted on to
some other leaf.)
Elevation of the so-called lanus Quadrifrons, close to S. Giorgio in
Velabro.
59. (50v)' Tenpli pads?
Longitudinal elevation of the interior of the Basilica of Constantine,
shown as restored, with the base of the colossal statue of Constantine in
the western apse. Four columns only are indicated in the chord of the
northern apse, whereas the ground plan (16) shows six : the niches in the
back wall are incorrectly represented in the elevation, and so are the details
of the bay to the east, which do not agree with the plan.
60. (50)
Elevation of the Arcus Argentariorum. The inscription (C.I.L. vi.
1035) is given with unimportant variants: but it is noteworthy that the
artist has failed to make out line 6, which Bernardo Rucellai (ed. Becucci
p. 925) read correctly.

61. (5IY) 's. mari(a)e roto(p)d(a)e portical a sin(istra).'
Elevation of the facade of the Pantheon.
