CHAP. XXVI The hill Hortulorum, the temple of the Sun, and the sepulchre of Nero.

THis little hill (Hortulorum) containeth but a few things worth the writing. Among which is the house of Pincius a Senatour, who gave the name both to a gate and a mountaine, which in these daies are called, Mount Pincius, and gate Pinciana.

The reliques and markes of his house are seene in that very place, neere the old wall. And about the same walls we meet with an huge building in forme of an hemisphere or halfe circle, which men imagine, was the temple of the Sunne.

Vpon the same hill over-against the tombe of Marcellus in the very port way Flaminia, fast by the monument of Domitian, stood Neroes sepulchre also.

Now this hill Hortulorum tooke the name of certain hortyards and gardens under it, which in old time, by reason they were continually so well watered, were most fruitfull. Downe this hill, all they were wont (in times past) to descend into Campus Martius, who meant to sue and stand for any ma∣gistracie.
