DISCOVERIES IN ROME
Excavations both archaeological and utilitarian, which are constantly going on in Rome, recently brought to light two relics of antiquity that have unusual interest. One fixes the, site, forgotten for centuries, of one of the earliest temples in Rome, and explains an architectural peculiarity of one of the great buildings of antiquity. The other suggests the possibility that an ancient Roman's private art collection may have been stumbled upon. The newly discovered temple came to light in the course of work on the Tabularium, the Archives Bureau of ancient Rome, over which in medieval and renaissance times the Senatorial Palace on the Capitoline Hill was constructed, replacing the ancient Senate House in the Forum which had been turned into a church.
