From a photograph by Alinari of the fragments in the Lateran Museum, Rome. Monument to a physician, and his family of about a.d. 100. The scheme is ugly and barbaric, but it includes some very fine decorative work. The facades of five Roman buildings are shown--the Temple of Isis, the Colosseum, two triumphal arches, and the Temple of Jupiter Stator. The temples are open and the images visible 81 BRIDGE OF ALCANTARA, SPAIN 282 From a photograph by Lacoste, kindly supplied by Sr. D. Miguel Utrillo.

Angelo, restored as a fortress by Pope Alexander VI. (Borgia), consists mainly of the Mausoleum of Hadrian; the bridge leading to it was also constructed for the emperor’s funeral. The circular tower was formerly ornamented with columns between which were statues. The famous Barberini Faun was one of them. There was a pyramidal gilt roof, and a colossal quadriga at the top. The whole building was formerly faced with white Parian marble. Besides Hadrian, all the Antonines, and Septimius Severus and Caracalla were buried here. The castle has had a stirring history in mediæval times also. The building is modelled upon the Mausoleum of Caria 83 TWO VIEWS OF HADRIAN’S VILLA, TIVOLI 286 From photographs by R. C. Smith.
