CHAP. IX. The temple of Neptune: Terentus: the altar of Dis or Pluto: the marish Caprea.

ON the strond of Tybre, where now S. Blases Church standeth, somtimes Neptunes temple stood. The same was rebuilt by Hadrian. Therein were the painted tables hung, which represented the shipwrackes.

Terentus is a place in Mars field, so called, for that in it the altar of Dis was hidden: or be∣cause the water of the Tybre running thereby, eat away and wore the bankes of that side: or last∣ly, by occasion of Evander, who arrived with a fleet in that place, and there abode. There also in time of the Albane warre, they hid the altar of Proserpina under the ground, that they onely might have knowledge thereof, where it was.

In the same Mars field (some thinke) was the fenne or marish Caprea, where Romulus in a tempest which sodainly arose, was taken away. Of which matter Livie writeth.
