CHAP. XIIII. The cliffe Suburranus: the arch of Galienus: the shambles or flesh market of Livia, or as some would have it, Livianum: the Praenestine way, and the Trophees of Marius.

AT the top or upper end of Suburra, was the Clivus Suburranus, so called of Suburra, yeelding an easie ascent from thence up into the Esquiliae.

Anon you meet with the triumphall arch of Galien the emperour (where now standeth the church of S. Vitus) making a goodly shew of the Tiburtine stone, whereof it was made. Neere unto it was the shambles or market place called Marcellum Livia••, or Livianum. This, as some think, tooke the name of one Macellus; who being a notorious thiefe, and practising much to steale in the cittie, was in the end apprehended, and by the Censors condemned: and his house being seized as confis∣cate to the citie, was converted to a place wherein they sold meat and all other victuals; and so it kept still the name (as is said) of Macellum. Some are of opinion, that the said house was pulled

downe, and another built in the ruines thereof, which reteined the name still of the former.

From hence beginneth the port-way Praenestina, and leadeth to the gate Esquilina.

In this way you shall meet on the right hand with a huge bank of brick, halfe ruinat; upon which were erected two Trophees of marble; that is to say, certain posts [like Quintins] standing upright with spoiles of enemies hanging thereupon; and they resembled men that were taken prisoners. It is said, that these Trophees were set up by Marius in his triumph for the Cimbrian warre: which when Sylla had cast downe and overthrowne, C. Caesar (afterwards Dictator) erected againe. The place of the inhabitants thereabout, is at this day called Cimbrum. As touching Trophees, looke to read more in Plutarch, Valerius Max. and others.
