The cupola of the church is one of the finest in Rome; the four evangelists, at the angles, are by Domenichino. _From here we retrace our steps down the Via Chiavari, crossing the Via Giubbonari, passing, on our left, the_ MONTE DI PIETA (Uncle to Rome); _turn to left Via Pettinari; the first turning on the right leads to the Piazza Capo di Ferri._ On the left, decorated with statues, is the Spada Palace. In the vestibule of the law court, upstairs, is THE STATUE OF POMPEY, at whose feet great Cæsar fell. "There was a statue of Pompey, and it was a work which Pompey had consecrated for an ornament to his theatre." "Either by accident, or pushed hither by the conspirators, he expired at the pedestal of Pompey's statue, and dyed it with his blood" (Plutarch). "Augustus removed the statue of Pompey from the senate house, in which Julius Cæsar had been killed, and placed it under a marble arch, fronting the curia attached to Pompey's theatre" (Suetonius, "Aug." xxxi.). The statue is eleven feet high, and was found in 1553 in the Vicolo di Lentari; it was under two houses, and the proprietors could not agree as to whom it should belong, when Pope Julius II. gave them five hundred gold dollars for it, and presented it to Cardinal Capodifero. In 1798-99 the French carried this statue to the Colosseum, where they performed Voltaire's "Tragedy of Brutus" to the original statue. To facilitate moving it, they cut off the extended arm; hence the join. THE SPADA PALACE GALLERY. _Open every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday; fee, half lira each to Museum and Gallery._ _N.B._--The vestibule where the statue of Pompey stands is public, and is open all day. Resist the demands of the porter, who is generally very rude.

Bellerophon watering Pegasus; 3. Amphion and Zethus; 4. Ulysses and Diomedes robbing the Temple of Minerva; 5. Paris and Œnone; 6. Perseus and Andromeda; 7. Adonis; 8.

Some little way down is the church of that name, on the right, said to have been built on the site where S. Paul had a school. _Just beyond_, on the right, is the Via degli Strengari; the house on the left, No. 2, is pointed out by Jewish tradition as THE HIRED HOUSE OF S. PAUL.
