To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Burn's plans are almost entirely copied from Canina ; and he takes no notice of the many discoveries made in the numerous excava- tions of the last five years. In accordance with the views of the scep- tical school, to which he evidently belongs, Mr. Burn doubts about many things tliat appear to us natural and obviously true. He does not believe that the foundations of a wooden bridge on the Tiber, under the Aveu- tine, are those of the Sublician bridge, nor that the Porta I'rigemina was also i...n this narrow strip of ground under the Aventine, close to the foot of this bridge ; yet this is the obvious place where any military engineer would have put those structures, and a long-established tradition should not be lightly set aside when the existing remains appear to bear it out, as in this case. The remains of the short ayiier are clearly visible at the south end of the Sahiria, or salt wharf, which is, and always was, just within the Porta Trigemina; but Mr. Burn puts his Porta Trige- mina in the Forum Boarium, a quarter of a mile to the north of the real site.
