62 (50
Elevation of the wall on each side of the door of the Pantheon,
showing the decoration with panels of various marbles, which have now
disappeared, though the strips of frieze between them are still preserved.
Uffizi 1157 (Antonio da Sangallo il giovane) gives a similar re-
presentation.
63. (52) a. b. 'Tabernacula panteonisl
Elevations of the niches in the interior of the Pantheon (now occupied
by altars, the date of the insertion of which is uncertain)1 which have,
some triangular, some curved pediments.
(c.) b. Angelo in Pescherial
(Inscription added by the later hand—the only case.)
The propylaea of the portico of Octavia, restored by Septimius
Severus and Caracalla in 203.
64. (§2v) a. 'Palatii inercenatisl
A restoration of the facade of the building identified by Lanciani
with the Templum Solis Aureliani (Ruins and Excavations, 430), and by
Hulsen with the temple of Serapis (Rhein. Mus. 1894, 392; Pull. Com.
1895, 39)
The name ' Torre Mesa' is discussed by Jordan (Topographie, ii. 527),
who derived it from the popular name, 'inensa iinperatoris,'which appears
in the Mirabilia (c. 27). Flavio Biondo, however, (Roina Instaurata, i.
100) derived it from Maecenas: quant turriin uulgo nunc uerbo ut ferine
in omnibus inultaruin syllabaru(ni) noininibus assolet syncopato Mesain pro
Mecoeiiatiaiiain appellant, and Coner follows him.
b. Unnamed.
A restoration of the facade of the temple of Venus and Rome, from
the portion of a relief representing it which is now in the Museo delle
Terme (Matz-Duhn, 3519; Helbig, Fiihrer ii. 1037; Petersen, Rbin.
Mitt. 1895, 244). The central portion exists in the Lateran Museum
(Helbig, op. cit. i. 647) while the lower portion is lost. The measurements
1 Ligorio (Taur. xiii. 47-55v) cited by Lanciani, Storia degli Scavi, ii. 237, in dealing with
the Pantheon, speaks of the restoration of The niches (tabernacolini)—' uno di essi sendo stato
restaurato da M. Baldassar Peruzzo, et da Raphael d'Urbino, e stata. cagione siffatta rinovatione,
che alcuni altri hanno fatto il simile.' But nothing is said about the altars.
