=cloācās=: the Cloaca Maxima is a semicircular tunnel, 14 feet wide, beneath the city. A part of this sewer, about 1020 feet, is still in existence, and after a lapse of 2500 years goes on fulfilling its original purpose. Its opening into the Tiber near the Temple of Hercules in the Forum Boarium is still in a good state of preservation. =Capitōlium=: the Temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill. Its foundations were laid by Tarquinius Priscus. Its walls were raised by his successor Servius Tullius, and Tarquinius Superbus completed it, although it was not consecrated until the third year after the expulsion of the kings. It consisted of three parts, a nave sacred to Jupiter, and two wings, the right sacred to Minerva and the left to Juno. The magnificence and richness of this temple are almost incredible. It was burned in the time of Sulla, who rebuilt it. After being destroyed several times it was raised for the last time by Domitian, who made it more grand and magnificent than had any of his predecessors. 10. =per … fīliōs=: Eutropius occasionally substitutes _per_ with the Accusative for the Ablative or Dative of agent; cf. _per eum multa ā cōnsulibus prōsperē gesta sunt_, Bk. IV, 10. 11. =rēgis ēius=: apposition with _Ancī_. =cuī=: cf. _huic successit_, Ch. 4. CH. 7. 12. =Servius Tullius=: the legend of Servius Tullius is as follows: Ocrisia, his mother, was one of the captives taken at Corniculum, and became a slave of Tanaquil, the wife of Tarquinius Priscus. Servius was born and reared at the palace of the king. As Tanaquil by her power of divination had foreseen the greatness of the child, she persuaded Tarquinius to give his daughter to Servius in marriage. At the death of Tarquinius, by the aid of Tanaquil, Servius became firmly fixed in the royal power. The great deeds of Servius were deeds of peace, and he was regarded by posterity as the author of all their civil rights and institutions. Three important events are assigned to him. He reformed the constitution of the state. He extended the boundary of the city and surrounded it with a wall. He established an important alliance by which Rome and the Latin cities became members of one great league. =genitus=: lit. ‘born’ ＝ ‘the son.’ 13. =quoque=: as well as Tarquinius Priscus. _Quoque_ must not be confounded with _quōque_, the Ablative of the pronoun _quisque_. 15. =fossās circum mūrum=: portions of the Servian wall still exist. 16. =cēnsum=: the number of Roman citizens was ascertained every five years, though not always with perfect regularity, for the assessment of taxes and the arrangement of military service. Originally the kings took the census. After the establishment of the republic the duty was performed by the consuls. After 444 B.C., special officers, called censors, had charge of it. The census was concluded with the solemn ceremony of reviewing the newly constituted army, called a _lustrum_. =orbem terrārum=: lit. ‘the circle of lands’ ＝ ‘the world.’
