[Footnote 13:  C.I.L., XIV, 2940 found at S. Pastore.]

[Footnote 15:  Ashby, Classical Topog. of the Roman Campagna, I, p. 206, finds on the Colle del Pero an ampitheatre and a great many remains of imperial times, but considers it the probable site of an early village.]

[Footnote 16:  Fernique, Etude sur Preneste, p. 120, wishes to connect Marcigliano and Ceciliano with the gentes Marcia and Caecilia, but it is impossible to do more than guess, and the rather few names of these gentes at Praeneste make the guess improbable.  It is also impossible to locate regio Caesariana mentioned as a possession of Praeneste by Symmachus, Rel., XXVIII, 4, in the year 384 A.D.  Eutropius II, 12 gets some confirmation of his argument from the modern name Campo di Pirro which still clings to the ridge west of Praeneste.]

[Footnote 17:  The author himself saw all the excavations here along the road during the year 1907, of which there is a full account in the Not. d.  Scavi, Ser. 5, 4 (1907), p. 19.  Excavations began on these tombs in 1738, and have been carried on spasmodically ever since.  There were excavations again in 1825 (Marucchi, Guida Archeologica, p. 21), but it was in 1855 that the more extensive excavations were made which caused so much stir among archaeologists (Marucchi, l.c., p. 21, notes 1-7).  For the excavations see Bull, dell’Instituto. 1858, p. 93 ff., 1866, p. 133, 1869, p. 164, 1870, p. 97, 1883, p. 12; Not. d.  Scavi, 2 (1877-78), pp. 101, 157, 390, 10 (1882-83), p. 584; Revue Arch., XXXV (1878), p. 234; Plan of necropolis in Garucci, Dissertazioni Arch., plate XII.  Again in 1862 there were excavations of importance made in the Vigna Velluti, to the right of the road to Marcigliano.  It was thought that the exact boundaries of the necropolis on the north and south had been found because of the little columns of peperino 41 inches high by 8-8/10 inches square, which were in situ, and seemed to serve no other purpose than that of sepulchral cippi or boundary stones.  Garucci, Dissertazioni Arch., I, p. 148; Archaeologia, 41 (1867), p. 190.]

[Footnote 19:  The papal documents read sometimes in Latin, territorium Praenestinum or Civitas Praenestina, but often the town itself is mentioned in its changing nomenclature, Pellestrina, Pinestrino, Penestre (Cecconi, Storia di Palestrina, p.  II; Nibby, Analisi, II, pp. 475, 483).]

[Footnote 20:  There is nothing to show that Poli ever belonged in any way to ancient Praeneste.]

[Footnote 21:  Rather a variety of cappellaccio, according to my own observations.  See Not. d.  Scavi, Ser. 5, 5 (1897), p. 259.]

[Footnote 22:  The temple in Cave is of the same tufa (Fernique, Etude sur Preneste, p. 104).  The quarries down toward Gallicano supplied tufa of the same texture, but the quarries are too small to have supplied much.  But this tufa from the ridge back of the town seems not to have been used in Gallicano to any great extent, for the tufa there is of a different kind and comes from the different cuts in the ridges on either side of the town, and from a quarry just west of the town across the valley.]
