c. 'apud capitem bouis.'
The obelisk of Domitian erected in his Stadium, later placed in the
Circus of Maxentius near the tomb of Caecilia Metella (which from the
bucrania in its frieze bears the name of caput bouis) and re-erected in 1651,
in the piazza Navona, almost exactly in its original position.
d. 'rep(er)to fuit a(n)no D. 1512 in canpo martiol
The obelisk of Augustus in the Campus Martius, cf. C.I.L. vi. 702 and
30815. The inscription is given by Giuliano da Sangallo (Sien. 3, cf.
Fabriczy, op. cit. 75) and Mazochi, Epigrammata antiquae urbis, f. 11.
The text is that of Mazochi, except •I• F for fIL at the end of the first
line and augusto (a mere slip for aegupto) further down. The details of
its first discovery are given in a note by Laelius Podager to his copy of
Mazochi ( Vat. 8492), who says that it was found 'in the time of Julius II,'
(1503-1513) but the actual year is only known from the present drawing:
for Falb, II taccuino Senese di Giuliano da Sangallo (p. 30) gives no
authority for his statement that it was first brought to light in 1511.
It was, however, covered up again and only finally brought to the
surface in 1748. (Lanciani, Ruins and Excavations, 467.)
70. (56v).
This is entirely unknown to me. It seems to be the profile of the side
of a marble vase, or else of a balustrade.
71. (58v).
a. A Doric architrave which I have not been able to identify.
b. 'circum eclesiam s. petri rom{a)e.'
A detail of the Doric order outside the temporary choir (built by
Bramante) of St. Peter's—cf. Geymuller, op. cit. Pl. 49, Fig. 2, Pl. 52,
Fig. 2, 3, the former from an engraving by H. Cock, the latter from draw-
ings by Heemskerk in the Kupfers tichcabinet at Berlin (i. 13, 15),
