These last two are written in clear, intelligible Latin, the former showing in addition a genuine literary inspiration. Nevertheless, the student will perceive many signs of antiquity in the omission of the case- ending _m_, in the spellings _gesistei, quom_ ( = _cum_. prep.) in the old long quantities _omnia fama facile_ and the unique _quairatis_. There are no less than five other inscriptions in the Mausoleum, one of which concludes with four elegiac lines, but they can hardly be cited with justice among the memorials of the old language. The _Senatus Consultum de Bacchanalibus_, or, as some scholars prefer to call it, _Epistola Consulum ad Teuranos_ (186 B.C.), found at Terra di Teriolo, in Calabria, in 1640, is quite in its original state. It is easily intelligible, and except in orthography, scarcely differs from classical Latin. We subjoin it entire, as it is a very complete and important specimen of the language, and with it we shall close our list:-- "1. Q. Marcius L. f. S(p) Postumius L. f. cos senatum consoluerunt n.
