This, from the inscription, was either made for, or the inscription was added to and imitated by, Domitian:--"Sun god. Son of the Sun god. Supporter of the world. Giver of life to the world. The man-god Horus. The son of the woman Isis, who is come to avenge the death of his ancestor Osiris. The king living for ever, Domitianus." From his Alban Villa, where it originally stood, it was transported, in A.D. 311, to the spina of the Circus of Maxentius on the Via Appia, thence to its present site. _On the left is_ THE CHURCH OF S. AGNESE, said to have been built on the site where S. Agnes was exposed after her torture; the high altar in the subterranean chapel is said to stand on the very spot. In another part is shown her prison, and where she was beheaded and burned, the church occupying the side vaults of the circus. The upper church contains eight columns of red Cortanella marble; it is ornamented with stuccoes, statues, alto-reliefs, and pictures. Behind the high altar is the sepulchral chapel of Princess Mary Talbot, wife of Prince Doria, who died in 1857. _A street on the left leads to the_ CHURCH OF S. MARIA DELLA PACE, containing Raphael's Sibyls--the Cumæan, Persian, Phrygian, Tiburtine--on the face of the arch in the first chapel on the right. Some statues in the Cesi Chapel were worked from pilasters found behind the Palace dei Conservatori, on the Capitol, from the Temple of Juno. _From the right of the Circo Agonale a street leads to the_ CHURCH OF S. AGOSTINO. It contains a fresco by Raphael, on the third pilaster to the left in entering,--Isaiah and two angels holding a tablet; also a favourite statue of the Virgin and Child, by Andrea Sansavino.
