Description of Plate V. THE LUPERCAL'. A Plan and Section of this Cave, with the chamber built against it by Augustus, is given in Plate V. Of the Palatine Hill, but there is nothing to indicate the site ; and it seems desirable to give this plan of the site, by which it can be seen that it is just under the north-west corner of the Palatine Hill, and almost in the Circus Maximus, which agrees with the history, that in the Circensian games on certain occasions the priests ran naked from the bat...h in this Cave round the Circus. The only entrance is by a ladder down a well fifteen feet deep, at the junction of the Via de' Fienili and the Via de' Cerchi, and the latter modern road passes over part of the Cave. The old street of Julius Caesar (now under the Church of S. Anastasia in this part) is not more than twenty yards from it, and it would be easy to restore the old entrance to it from thence. The pro- prietor of the mill near the Cloaca Maxima uses the Aqua Argen- tina as his mill-stream and the Lupercal as his mill-dam.
