bold range of high mountains on the right—the specta-

so many thousands had assembled in joy and gladtiess,

those that had inhabited it. Not more than a fourth

however, that most of the principal buildings have been
discovered, as these were commonly built in the neigh-
bourhood of the forum. Lupines, wheat, vmes, and
fruit trees, are now growing is great luxuriance only '
