d in the Campus Martius, and the
elevation now called the Monte Citorio, to have been formed by its ruins.]

[Footnote 414: Supposed to be a house, so called, adjoining the Circus,
in which some of the emperor's attendants resided.]

[Footnote 415: Now Puzzuoli, on the shore of the bay of Naples. Every
one knows what wealth was lavished here and at Baiae, on public works and
the marine villas of the luxurious Romans, in the times of the emperors.]

[Footnote 416: The original terminus of the Appian Way was at Brundusium.
This mole formed what we should call a nearer station to Rome, on the same
road, the ruins of which are still to be seen. St. Paul landed there.]

[Footnote 417: Essedis: they were light cars, on two wheels, constructed
to carry only one person; invented, it is supposed, by the Belgians, and
by them introduced into Britain, where they were used in war. The Romans,
after their expeditions in Gaul and Britain, adopted this useful vehicle
instead of their more cumbrous RHEDA, not only for journeys where dispatch
was required, but in solemn processions, and for ordinary purposes. They
seem to have become the fashion, for Ovid tells us that these little
carriages were driven by young ladies, themselves holding the reins, Amor.

[Footnote 418: Suetonius flourished about seventy years after this, in
the reign of Adrian, and derived many of the anecdotes which give interest
to his history from cotemporary persons. See CLAUDIUS, c. xv. etc.]

[Footnote 420: This aqueduct, commenced by Caligula and completed by
Claudian, a truly imperial work, conveyed the waters of two streams to
Rome, following the valley of the Anio from above Tivoli. The course of
one of these rivulets was forty miles, and it was carried on arches,
immediately after quitting its source, for a distance of three miles. The
other, the Anio Novus, also began on arches, which continued for upwards
of twelve miles. After this, both were conveyed under ground; but at the
distance of six miles from the city, they were united, and carried upon
arches all the rest of the way. This is the most perfect of all the
ancient aqueducts; and it has been repaired, so as to convey the Acqua
Felice, one of the three streams which now supply Rome. See CLAUDIUS, c.
xx.]

pretorian camp, which
