225.
32 SITE OF THE IMPERIAL PALACE.
But it is not this magnificence that bears upon our subject, but what I am going to state. It so happened that when these emperors selected the Palatine for the site of their sumptuous buildings, they found it already occupied by several ancient monuments, sacred and profane. The principal ones were the Supercilium Scalarum Caci; the Tugurium, or cottage of Faustulus, Romulus' s foster-father ; the grove on the plain of Apollo's temple ; the Augura- torium, ...or place of meeting for the augurs ; and principally the temple of Jupiter Propugnator, built three hundred years before by Decius, after the Samnite war. AVe must perhaps add a Basilica, or Justice Hall, mentioned in the Acts of ancient Martyrs, and yet distinguishable in all its parts.
What was to be done with all these buildings existing inconveniently together on the site selected for the residence of the Caesars ? The answer seems obvious to our way of looking at such things. We should at once apply for an Act of Parliament, and have them thrown down or removed to other situa- tions.
