CHAP. XI. The arch of Camillus: the temple of Minerva: and the swine market.
AS a man goeth downe from the broad-gate aforesaid toward the Pantheon, he shall see a most auncient arch. Some thinke (but untruly) that erected it was for Camillus: for many a faire day after his time, these arches were in no request and use: and therefore it belonged to some other L. Generall. Betweene this arch and Pantheon, Cn. Pompeius built a temple to Minerva, wherein he comprised in a compendious summe, the memoriall of all his acts and exploits. Other ensignes also in the honor of the citie of Rome, he there set up, and those he garnished and adorned. VVher∣of read Plinie.
At the foot of the mount Quirinalis, in the hortyards of the Columnenses, neere the ascent and rising of the hill which leadeth now into the mount Caballus, there was sometime the market-place Sun∣rium, so called of selling swine there. For Varro witnesseth, that in old time they had certaine set and appointed places for the selling of severall things, and thereof the markets tooke the name. Thus of oxen, the market Boarium; of fish, Piscarium; of swine, Suarium; of woorts or hearbs, Holito∣rium, was called. &.
