THis hill being in former time called Agonalis, then began to be called Quirinalis, whē certaine Sabines, called in Latine Curetes, came and inhabited there, (truce being made betweene the Romanes, & the Sabines:) though some woulde therefore haue it named Quirinalis, because there was a temple erected in the honor of Romu∣lus, called also Quirinus. It was called in the time of the Emperours mons Caballus, that is, the horse-hill, taking its denomination from two marble statues of Alexander ta∣ming his horse Bucephalus: which statues Constantine the Emperour brought to Rome, and placed thē in the middest of certaine bathes, which he made vpon this hill. There do appeare in this hill three risings, or hillockes, the one be∣ing called Salutaris, the other Martialis, & the third La∣tiaris. All this may be collected out ofl 1.1 Rosinus.
