Its 2 temples also were now provided with statues of which Rome is said to have been entirely destitute before; however, the 3 gods of Rome long remained of wood and clay, the work of Etruscan artists or handicraftmen. 1. To these belong the great Cloaca (§. 168), the laying out of the Forum and Gomitium, the Circus (§. 170), the CapitoHne temple (§. 169), the prison (robur Tullianum, S. Pietro in Carcere), which sprang from the latomia of the Capitoline hill, the temple of Diana on the Aventine, the wall of Tarquinius or Servius (Niebuhr i. p. 394), and the Servian walls (Bunsen, Beschreibung Roms i, s, 623).
