midss os the old City.
The Cathedral is built on theRuines of a Tem-
ple of Jupiter ; and of part of the Materials of
that Temple, particularly the Frontispiece, where
it appears by an ancient Inscription, that it was
built by Calphurniws Luc. Fil.
Betwixt the City and the Amphitheater, you
may observe the Ruines of a Temple of Diana.
Towards the Dominicans of Jesu Maria, when the
Sea is extreamly turbulent, it throws upon Shore
some new Marks of the old Magnificence of the
Palaces of PuzxAi; among which are many times
found divers sorts of fine Stones, Cornelians, A-
gats, Diaspre, Amethysts, &c. Antiquaries pre-
tend, that about this place, there were formerly a
great number of Jewellers and Goldsmith’s Shops.
The Sea also brings up other sorts of Stones, up-
on which, as well as the others, there are several
sorts of Figures Engraved; as Cocks, Eagles,
Storks, Flares, Serpents, Frogs, Ants, Vine-branches,
Grapes, Ears of Corn, Heads of Men, and others,
Words Greek and Latin, &c. Some fansie, that
these Figures were form’d by Nature ; and Su-
perstition ascribes several Virtues to them.
The Sand which they use for Building at Ti-.z-
z>oli, deserves to be taken notice of. Vitruvius
commends it extreamly; and Pliny boasts much
of it: It enters the Composition of a certain sort
of Mortar, which grows as hard as Marble, even
in the Sea it self.
