his family were buried. There still exists in the Capitol a very simple coffin containing the remains of Agrippina; its side has the inscription _Ossa Agrippinae Germanici_. During an accidental excavation near San Carlo and the Corso, a _bustum_ of the Caesars was discovered, on which their bodies were burnt; each imperial family had a distinct place for this purpose. At present several monumental stones of such _busta_ exist in the Museo Pio-Clementino; they always have an inscription, such as _C. Caesar hic crematus est_. I believe there still exist half-a-dozen of such inscriptions. Not far from the _moles Hadriani_ there was a third _Circus_, built by Nero, and by the side of it stands the church of St. Peter. According to a tradition, the iron gate, where the apostles Peter and Paul suffered the death of martyrs, still exists there; but according to others, Peter died on the Janiculus, the _mons aureus_ of the middle ages. There, too, a suburb arose as early as the time of Justinian; the church of St. Peter attracted many inhabitants, and the place was especially occupied by Germans, Saxons, and Lombards, who went to Rome for devotional purposes, or were engaged in the service of the Praefectus to defend the pope. They had their quarters (_scholae_) there, whence the name _schola Saxonum_, and in the same district we have the Ospidale in Sassi. This suburb was surrounded with walls by Leo IV. and called _Burgus_ (_Borgo_). _Trastevere_, on the same side of the river, though separated by a great space, was a suburb as early as the time of Augustus; it now contains the oldest houses in Rome, which belong to the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Augustus had gardens there, and during the republican period a _navale_ existed there on the south of the Aventine. On the same bank of the river there was a _naumachia_, a district surrounded by a wall, which could be filled with water for mock-fights with small boats.
