Transcription
« Extra oppidum est locus, vulgo dictus Grohan, vbi olim Theatrum, ą Romanis exstructum fuisse perhibetur, eius ruinę apparent adhuc, cum parietinarum & murorum reliquiis ; hoc loco vetera numismata reperiuntur Romanorum imaginibus effigiata. Hęc moles in id ą pręsidibus provinciarum olim erecta putatur, vt ibi populo ludos & spectacula pręberent, simulque gratam Cęsarum memoriam illis redderent. » |
