di Storia Patria, vi. 226, Storia degli Scavi, ii. 45, 227.) Antonietto seems
thus to have been a regular dealer in antiques, and to have advertised the
fact upon the facade of his house. The somewhat indifferent Latin of the
inscription should be attributed to its copyist.
The capitals themselves I have been unable to trace. A knowledge
of their subsequent history might have helped me to determine more
accurately the date at which the drawings by the later hand were
executed. As it is, we can only say that they cannot be earlier than 1546
—and indeed, from their style, they appear to be several years later.

The latter appears in Uffizi 1604 (Antonio da Sangallo the elder [?]),

one of the capitals of the two columns, one on each side of the south-
east entrance (see 132 a).
c I have not been able to identify with certainty. It may belong to
the Arch of Titus or to that of Septimius Severus.
