CHAP. V. The bridges Fabricius and Cestius.

BEneath the bridge Aurelius one furlong, over-against the Theatre of Marcellus, in the very middest of the channell of Tyber, there appeareth a shelfe or Island, this was united to the ci∣tie by the bridge Tarpeius, so called first of the rocke Tarpeia neere unto it, afterwards Fa∣bricius, of L. Fabricius, who by the bridge conjoined the cittie and Island together. The same at this day is called the bridge of foure heads, taking the name of foure marble images with foure faces apeece, standing at the entrie of the bridge, but that bridge which closeth the said Island with the parts beyond Tyber, was called Esquilinus or Cestius in times past, but now S. Bartholmewes bridge.
