[Footnote 52:  Through the courtesy of the Mayor and the Municipal Secretary of Palestrina, I had the only exact map in existence of modern Palestrina to work with.  This map was getting in bad condition, so I traced it, and had photographic copies made of it, and presented a mounted copy to the city.  This map shows these wall alignments and the changes in direction of the cyclopean wall on the east of the city.  Fernique seems to have drawn off-hand from this map, so his plan (l.c., facing p. 222) is rather carelessly done.

I shall publish the map in completeness within a few years, in a place where the epochs of the growth of the city can be shown in colors.]

[Footnote 53:  I called the attention of Dr. Esther B. Van Deman, Carnegie Fellow in the American School of Classical Studies in Rome, who came out to Palestrina, and kindly went over many of my results with me, to this piece of wall, and she agreed with me that it had been an approach to the terrace in ancient times.]

[Footnote 54:  C.I.L., XIV, 2850.  The inscription was on a small cippus, and was seen in a great many different places, so no argument can be drawn from its provenience.]

[Footnote 55:  This may have been the base for the statue of M. Anicius, so famous after his defense at Casilinum.  Livy XXIII, 19, 17-18.

It might not be a bad guess to say that the Porta Triumphalis first got its name when M. Anicius returned with his proud cohort to Praeneste.]

[Footnote 56:  Not. d.  Scavi, 7-8 (1890), p. 38.  This platform is a little over three feet above the level of the modern piazza, but is now hidden under the steps to the Corso.  But the piece of restraining wall is still to be seen in the piazza, and it is of the same style of opus quadratum construction as the walls below the Barberini gardens.]

[Footnote 60:  Petrini, Memorie Prenestine, pp. 180-181.  The walls were built in muro merlato.  It is not certain where the Murozzo and Truglio were.  Petrini guesses at their site on grounds of derivation.]

[Footnote 61:  Petrini, Memorie Prenestine, p. 248.]

[Footnote 62:  Also called Porta S. Giacomo, or dell’Ospedale.]

[Footnote 63:  Petrini, Memorie Prenestine, p. 252.]

[Footnote 64:  Closed seemingly in Sullan times.]

[Footnote 65:  The rude corbeling of one side of the gate is still very plainly to be seen.  The gate is filled with mediaeval stone work.]

[Footnote 66:  There is a wooden gate here, which can be opened, but it only leads out upon a garden and a dumping ground above a cliff.]
