6. (s')'Pianta dun tenipio del Dio Eolol
Plan of the heroon of Romulus, which stood in the centre of the
square portico built against the narrow end of the Circus of Maxentius
and facing on to the Via Appia (Canina, Edifizi, Vol. II. tav. 76). A plan
of the lower story (a subterranean chamber) is given on No. 9, ' Pianta
di un teinpio vicino a S. Bastiano.' The plans are both due to the later
hand, and are very closely allied to (perhaps copied from) drawings by
Francesco da Sangallo in the sketchbook of his father Giuliano da
Sangallo, Cod. Barberin. xlix. 33 (numbered, since its transference to the
Vatican Library, Barb. Lat. 4424) f. 43' (compare also f. 8 and Giuliano's
other sketchbook, Cod. Sien. S. iv. 8, f. 16). The name 'temple of
Aeolus' occurs there also.
For all details cf. Fabriczy, Die Handzeichnungen Giuliano's da Sangallo,
56: as no measurements are given, we cannot tell for certain the source
of the present drawings.
7. (3) 'Pianta del Setizonio.'
This drawing, again, which is by the later hand, agrees absolutely with
the restored plan by Giuliano da Sangallo in Barb. 29' (cf. 30), which was
adopted by Marliani, Urbis Romae Topographia (1544), 68, but which
as Hulsen, Das Septizonium (46th Winckelmannsfestprogramm, Berlin,
1886), p. 7, 22, has shown, is quite incorrect and fanciful.
8. (4', 5) (double size).
HICNOGROPHIA-TERMARVM-MEDIA-PARS • DEOCRITINI 1
A very good and carefully drawn plan. It bears a close resemblance
to that by Francesco da Sangallo in the Uffizi (No. 284, Ferri, Indice
Geografico-analitico dei disegni di Architettura nella R. Galleria degli
Uffizi, p. 203) which was drawn in 1518 : but a few slight differences (e.g.
the fact that four columns instead of two are shown projecting apsidally
towards the great hemicycle) suffice to indicate an independent origin.
8 A (5v) 'Pianta Euna Sepolt. di la di S. Agues.'
Except for the fact that the window apertures are here made larger,
the plan agrees with that by Francesco da Sangallo in Barb. 38'. The
tomb was just beyond the Ponte Nomentano, which carries the Via
1 A corrupt form of Diocletiani.
