Sig. Constantine Macs, the Italian
archaeologist, says that 5000 bronze
tables, constituting the records of
Rome from it's foundation to the time
of Vespasian, are buried in the marsh
at Ostia, near Rome, having been car
ried to Ostia after being rescued from
the fire which devoured the capital in
the year 60 OF the Christian era. Sig.
Macs suggests that the marsh should
be completely drained in order to re.
cover this historic treasure.
