The Augustan Palatium

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 September 2012

Extract

The following paper attempts to fix the position of the house or houses of Augustus on the Palatine and of the temple of Apollo Palatinus. In the enquiries which led up to it, I have to acknowledge effectual help from Miss E. Van Deman, Dr. T. Ashby, Mrs. Strong, Mr. H. Stuart Jones, Professor Giovanni Pinza, author of a theory from which I have appropriated much, and last, but not least, Commendatore Boni and his assistants. Sr. Moggi, Mr. F. G. Newton, and Mr. J. W. Rodger of Cardiff have contributed the plans which accompany this paper.

page 202 note 3 It is possible, for example, that not enough stress has been laid on the facility and cheapness with which pozzolana could be brought to Rome from the bay of Naples by way of Ostia. Sea transport has always been cheaper than that by land, and was especially so in ancient times. Thus it may have been less expensive to bring pozzolana in this manner to Rome than to transport it for even a short distance from the neighbouring quarries.
