An American lady wintering in Rome
asked a man who knows all about Rome
ancient and modern, to give her some in

home of Christian priests who minister to

and told her the story Of the sland-a story
Of temples and their sick worshippers. Of
wornout slaves exposed ard left 10 die
there, Of a charitable task bcgGa by pagans,
continued by Christians and carried on for
twenty-five centuries--a curious story even
for Rome.
Many centuries ago when Rome was but
q small village perched on the Pslatine
Hill, surrounded by woods and marshes
and inhabited by a community OF shep-
herds who grazed their hocks on the uplands
Of the Velia and the Orphan, there was down
in the valley where flowed the river Tiber a
spot among the reeds that grew,on its banks
where the waters Of tho stream rushed
and gurgled as thoy broke against a low
wild island. II was merely a strip Of land
In the middle Of the river, across which the
Etruscans gazed with surprise at the square
fortihcations Of the new people who had
founded a city high up on the opposite
bank. II was almost covered over and
hidden by the waters that surrounded it,
uneIplored and therefore unknown.
This island in the course OF time acquired
q legendary origin. 1t was said that when
the Romans expelled the Tarquins and
seized their goods the golden corn was
cut from the fields Of Mars and thrown
into the river. The current carried il
toward the insuld eGed, the blind island
or sandbank, Here IL stopped. and the
sand and mud OF the river were mixed
with II until II rose above the stream and
became an island, and the Insula Tiberina,
or Island Of the Tiber, was thus formed.
Livy and Plutarch and other ancient
writer's recount the, legend. but modern
critics have explained it away and they
only connect the name of Tarqun with
the Island Of the Tiber inasmuoh as under
him Roman and Etruscan worships be-
came united and from the Capitol they
gradually spread down to the river.

The temple had community Of priests who
besides attending TO the worship Of the god
! minstered to the crowd Of poor patients that
came to be cured, and recommended reme-
dies. baths and diets generally. which very
often proved more successful than the inter-
vention Of the Greek god The patients
slept under the porticoes. and so great was
their faith that they expected to be cured
with the first light Of dawn on the following
morning.
The site Of the temple was well adapted
for hospital, as 1t was outside the city
walls and in an isolated position. 1t was
patronized by the very poor the freed
men who worked in the factories. the SOL
diers OF the legions and the sailors from the
galleys moored on the river.
There was custom IN Rome which con-
tributed in keeping the portiooes Of the
Asklepia crowded The owners OF slaves
afflicted by incurable maladies and there
fore worthless used to have them carried
to the island and left there.
Originally the owner Of a slave had the
right to kill him when he had no further
use for him, and before the temple Of Escu-
lapius was built on the island and his wor-
ship instituted in Rome, when a slave be-
came i'll beyond hope Of recovery he was
killed by his master. The priests Of the
Greek god acquired celebrity for curing
the poor, and the god sometimes performed
miracles, so that diseased slaves we're no
longer killed but sent to the Asklepia, and
10 such numbers that the porticoes at times
we're full Of them.
The Emperor Claudus abolished the
custom and decreed that any slave aban-
doned or exposed should become free man,
and that any person who killeda diseased
slave was guilty Of the crime Of murder.
As a result the number Of patients at the
Asklcpia diminished, But the sadness OF
the place remained. and the grove Of sacred
trees that adorned the island, the shrines

we're not sufficient TO change the aspect Of
the place, which was that of hospital for
poor people a refuge Of poor diseased hui
manity
Several inscriptions in Greek have been
found bearing evidence Of cures obtained
through intercessions to the god. Caius,
the blind beggar. prostrated himself before
the altar Of the god and placed the five ex-
tended fingers Of his right hand on it, He
touched his eyes and recovered his sight.
Lucius, another Seggar. who was unable
TO sleep owing TO great pains in his side, was
cured by placing ashes from the sacrifices
he offered on the affected side, The soldier
Valerius Aprus recovered from his wounds
by putting honey on them.
But II some we're cured. many hoped and
prayed, but died. When the day was over
and the gates Of the temple we're closed for
the night the crowd Of patients, many OF
them almost starved to death, all feveTish
and in pain filled the porticoes and there
walled and cried and shrieked from pain
and called on the god for help during the
long dark hours Of the night, while the
waters Of the river rushed and gurgled
round the sides Of the stone ship with it's
load Of suffering humanity
The night passed, and dawn heralded by
the growing Of the cocks kept in the sacred
grove, appeared. The gates Of the temple
we're opened and those among the patients
who we're cured rushed in to offer sacrifices
and thanks TO the god, but many remained
still In the porticoes until they were removed
by the priests. The god had not cured them
and they had died during the night.

ANGUS Marcus. fourth King Of Rome, is
said to have built bridge OF wooden piles
--sublicD hence Pons Sublicius- between
the Janiculum. which he fortified to check
the incursions OF the Etruscans and the
island, This was the first bridge across the
Tiber and II was the bridge Horatius Coolies
held against the hosts Of Porsenna.
No iron was used in its original con-
stuction nor in subsequent repairs. Its
memory lasted through the Middle Ages
In 1884 Pope Sixtus used the remains Of
it's foundations Of travertine to make
cannon balls, and in 1877 the last traces Of
II we're blown up to clear the bed Of the
river.
The bridge gave but small fame TO the
island, which remained uninhabited for
several centuries in fact until the year
2Ol B. c. Then pestilenCe ragged in Rome
and spread over all the city. with it's narrow
streets and high houses overcrowded with
slaves and for three long years the in
habitants died daily by hundreds.
SO the Senate sent TO EpidauTus TO re-
quest that Esculapius, the tutelary god
Of that place, might come to avert the evil.
The ambassadors returned with a sacred
snake, the emblem Of the god, which had
found It's own way into their ship end
ensconced itself in the cabin When they
arrived in the Tiber, the snake glided from
the ship and swimming to the island disap-
peared there. and In consequence temple
was built on the island to the Greek god Of
medicine. whose worship was thus in
troduced into Rome.
The temple was called ASK lepia. and more
than a sanctuary or place Of worship was
q hospital where poor people who could not
afford TO pay the doctor TO cure their mala-
dies hocked and prayed and hoped that their
health should be restored Belief In the
supernatural powers Of the divinity and
therefore in miracles then was as strong as
II is still to-day in many parts Of Italy.
