name 'Temple of Bacchus' has been commonly (though of course
erroneously) applied. The artist shows sixteen pairs of columns in the
interior instead of twelve, the correct number. The note at the bottom
(vacuum plateae est b. 250 Iu(n)gitudo et latitude est b.51) refers to the
large space enclosed by a wall, and supported in places by substructures
which from its shape has often been supposed to be a circus, but was in
reality a cemetery. A portion of it is indicated at the bottom of the
drawing.

Plan (without measurements) of the large tomb known as the
Carceri Vecchie near S. Maria di Capua Vetere. Exactly similar plans are
to be found in Cod. Barb. f. 8r, Sien. i6r, i6v, and Uffizi 2045. The tomb
is still extant (Beloch, Campanien, 358 ; cf. Melanges de 1'Ecole Fraucaise,
xxiii. (1903), p. 415 No. 21), though an elevation of it by Sangallo (Barb. 8r)
is reproduced by Rivoira, Origini dell' Arckitettura Lombarda, i. p. 56 and
Fig. 84, without any indication of this fact being given.

A plan of the ' tempietto' of Bramante at S. Pietro in Montorio
(Letarouilly, op. cit. Pl. 103). The legend of the crucifixion of St. Peter at
this spot dates only from the 15th century (Marucchi, Basiliques et eglises
de Rome, 461), though its veracity has recently been sustained by Mgr. G. B.
Lugari (Il Gianicolo luogo della Crocifissione di S. Pietro. Roma, 1900.)
22. (14', I 5) The back (14, 15v) is plain. ' terminj antoniane.'
An extremely fine plan of the Baths of Caracalla on a double sheet.
The flight of stairs near the Calidarium is, however, probably erroneously
drawn, as is that at the end of the peribolus: and the seats in front of
the piscina are doubtful.
No measurements are given (this is the case with the plan of the
baths of Diocletian) but it does not seem to be a mere copy of another
drawing.
Certain parts of the building, in which the walls are faintly indi-
cated, were probably more or less inaccessible, or at rate not easily,
measured.
