Transcription
« Augusti Imp. Tempore floruit : vetustates sunt in ea insignia argumenta, nempe palatium tutelæ, quod civitatis genito dicatum erat , diis tutelaribus ; id extra muros civitatis olim fuit, in ora fossæ, quæ ad septem triones vergit, nunc civitatis inclusum est, constat id ex lapide quadrato ; longum est pedes 87. latum autem 63. in parte interiori sunt fornices, forma planæ, ut antiqui exstruere consuevere : superior pars plane aperta est, tectoque caret, in eo 8. columnæ stria[51]tæ fuerunt ab vtroque latere, & 6 in fine latitudinis extremæ, quarum 18. adhuc erectæ stant. » |
