Pomponius Laetus _Crassi erroris_, in putting the Ruminal fig-tree at the
church of Saint Theodore; but, as Livy says the wolf was at the Ficus
Ruminalis, and Dionysius at the temple of Romulus, he is obliged to own

[651] {514} Donatus, lib. xi. cap. xviii., gives a medal representing on
one side the wolf in the same position as that in the Capitol; and on
the reverse the wolf with the head not reverted. It is of the time of
Antoninus Pius.

who inclines to the Ciceronian wolf, but without examining the subject.)

crimine insons fuerit:" [lib. iv. cap. xv.] and which was continued in
the legal judgments pronounced in justifiable homicides, such as killing
house-breakers.
