there was a cry of protest from those who weren't interested particularly in aesthetic pursuits For instance, some modern Romans, who didn't know about the history of the Tarpeian Rock, were opposed to wiping out place where they could leisurely drink good wine.
 But the work of demolition went ahead. After extensive digging it was possible to see the Coliseum and the Marcellus Theatre from the top of the Capitol. The Marcellus Theatre was one of the ancient buildings freed from debris. It Is one of the oldest of Roman theatres-older than the Coli scum.
 Demolitlons arc being carried out round the Traian Forum. A wide road will soon be opened linking the Trajan Forum with the Coliseun1-as in the days long past.
 Trajan's Forum was another struc- ture that was restored to something of it's former beauty. Buildings sur rounding it were knocked down, and the classic archways were cleared of centuries of debris. Senator Dorado Ricci, the distinguished archaeologist in charge of the work as chief director
 of excavations, in describing this .I find, says:

 a semi-circular plan east of the I Basilica Ulpia, and contains on its ..f ground floor eleven large shops H with high windows. Two stair st ways, one at each end of the sSf hemicycle, led to the first floor, < where q more shops are ranged oI along two corridors. Mounting

Glory That Was zsss sssSs $ Rome. A View of Traian's Market Uncovered in the Midst of Modern Rome by the Demoli- lion of Comparatively New Buildings
 Under the Mussolini Government. THE very foundations of modern
 Rome are being uprooted with
 surprising results by the pick axes, crowbars and giant eacavators of up-to-date house-wreckers in gigantic effort to unearth the Imperial CityS ancient glories.
 Buildings and homes which have grown around and over the forgotten foundations of temples, pillars and columns are being torn down. Famous restaurants, hotels and theatres of to- day may be destroyed as a sacrifice to the archaeological search for buried beauty and long-lost treasures.
 This is in line with the policy and de- termination of Premier Mussolini to re- store all Rome to the beauty it held in the time of the Caesars. To do so he has shown ruthless perseverance. When he demanded that the barges of Nero and other emperors be removed from Lake Nemi he was told by eng- nccrs it couldn't be done, because the barges were at the bottom of the la ke.
 "Then remove the lake!' was his order. And recently when the cry went up that modern buildings ob- structed the restoration of the old rel lcs, Mussolini's order was to tear down the modern bildings! Thus he shows himself less interested in building than . in restoration.
 Already the tremendous work un- dcrtaken by the Fascist Government has shown remarkable results. The semi-circular Market of Trajan, re- gently discovered, has been completely excavated and stands almost as it stood centuries ago. The majestic columns of the Forum where Caesar was killed because of his ambitions; the house of the Knights of Rhodes, heart of Roman chivalry; the stately homes, fountains and private gardens all these are finding the light of a newer day.
 Meanwhile, outside the gates of Rome, other treasures are being re- stored.
