CHAP. XXIII. Of those things which now in mount Coelius are not knowne where they stood.

BRutus the Consull having expelled Tarquine, built a temple to the goddesse Carna in mount Coelius, to which goddesse also, upon the accomplishment of his praier and vow, hee offered sacrifice. They in old time supposed that she had power over the vitall members of the bodie, and to her tuition they committed those parts, and that shee should preserve them safe, they did sa∣crifice upon her altars, and presented oblations.

Agrippina likewise began to build a temple to Claudius Caesar, which after her death Vespasian finished, and Nero utterly destroied to the very foundation: this also was erected in the same hill.

Mamurra Formianus, maister of Caesars Carpenters in Fraunce, was the first Romane that adorned and set out his house which hee had in Coelius hill, with marble rough-cast. Moreover, the house of Claudius Centimales stood upon the said hill. Also the house of the Tetritici, who were two of the thirtie tyrants. Likewise the house of Iunius Senatour, wherein, when as all other edifices and buildings upon that mountaine were consumed with fire, the image of Tyberius remained unhurt. There also

it is said of Titus Claudius Clyptus, the maker of hymnes. In this hill was the great Macellum, the cave or denne of Cyclops, the Spoliarium, and the armorie.
