" In travelling round the antiquities of Rome, there is, * Toturn Palatium senatu, equitibus Romanis, civitate omni, Ita- \\k cuncla refertum. Cicero. F Forsyth. 224 ROME. Indeed, much room for scepticism with respect to the propriety of the names that have been applied to many of them. The Temple of Vesta, for example, at no great distance from the Palatine Hill, must be referred to this doubtful order. Its situation on the banks of the river seems to accord well enough with Horace's " monu- m...enta Vestae*"; and its position will agree with the " ventum erat ad Vestse " of the ninth satire, where it is represented as lying beyond the Tiber, in the way from the Via Sacra to the gardens of Caesar. Yet, observes Forsyth, " if you fix Vesta in this round temple on the Tiber, others will contend there for Hercules, or Por- tumnus, or Volupia. If, again, you assign the three magnificent columns in the Forum to Jupiter Stator, others will force them into a senate-house, or a portico, or a comitium, or a bridge.
