Sivu 377 - Sixty-four vomitories (for by that name the doors were very aptly distinguished) poured forth the immense multitude; and the entrances, passages, and staircases were contrived with such exquisite skill, that each person, whether of the senatorial, the equestrian, or the plebeian order, arrived at his destined place without trouble or confusion.
Sivu 33 - puticuli" in the burial-grounds of the Esquiline. Its use must have been given up before the end of the period of the Kings, in consequence of the discovery of better quarries on the right bank of the Tiber, at the foot of the hills now called Monte Verde. . . . They cover a space one mile in length and a quarter of a mile wide on each side of the valley of Pozzo Pantaleo. In fact, this valley, which runs from the Via Portuensis toward the lake of the Villa Pamphili, seems to be artificial; I mean,...
Sivu 222 - ... pasture-grounds, and did not share with them the fatigues of hunting or fishing expeditions. In course of time, however, this simple practice became a kind of sacred institution, especially at Alba Longa, the mother country of Rome ; and when a large party of Alban shepherds fled from the volcanic eruptions of the Alban craters into the plain below, and settled on the marshy banks of the Tiber, they followed, naturally, the...
Sivu 587 - When an event did not happen exactly on the Calends, Nones, or Ides of any month, they calculated the day by reckoning backwards from the next division of the month. Thus, if it happened between the Calends and the Nones, it was said to take place so many days before the Nones ; if it happened between the Nones and Ides, it was said to take place so many days before the Ides ; if it happened after the Ides, it was said to take place so many days before the Calends of the ensuing month. In the second...
Sivu 367 - Egypt, and which is perhaps the most striking monument at once of the material and the moral degradation of Rome under the empire, ' ' was commenced by the Emperor Vespasian in AD 72, and finished by his son, Titus, in AD 80. The captive Jews, led in chains to Rome after the destruction of...
Sivu 521 - Grain-laden vessels were of large tonnage, like the ship mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as having on board, besides its cargo, two hundred and fifty souls. We may judge of their number from the fact that during a fierce gale in the time of Nero not less than two hundred vessels were lost in the roads of Ostia. It seems that wheat was not transported in bulk, for fear of the cargo shifting to one side or the other, but in amphorae or earthen jars.
Sivu 47 - For four hundred and forty-one years," says Frontinus, "the Romans contented themselves with such water as they could get from the Tiber, from wells, and from springs. Some of these springs are still held in great veneration on account of their health-restoring qualities, like the spring of the Camoenae, that of Apollo, and that of Juturna.
Sivu 102 - Rome during some recent excavations on the site of the House of the Vestals at the foot of the Palatine. The ''find" consisted of 830 Anglo-Saxon pennies, ranging from AD 871 to 947.
Sivu 478 - ... known for certain (from the stamp on the bricks in various parts of the building) that the rotunda was built by Hadrian. Difficulties with regard to the relations between the two parts of the Pantheon remain unsolved, but on the following points Professor Lanciani claims to speak with certainty : — (1) "The present Pantheon, portico included, is not the work of Agrippa, but of Hadrian, and dates from AD 120124. (2) " The columns, capital, and entablature of the portico, inscribed with Agrippa's...
Sivu 587 - BC 45, that division of time which, with a few modifications, is still employed by all Christian nations, and received from its author the name of the Julian Year. The solar year, or the period between two vernal equinoxes, was supposed to contain...
