Extracts from
Robert Burn's Rome and the Campagna.
Originally Published in 1876, Cambridge: Deighton, Bell, and Co.
I have excerpted from Burn's work the section relevant to our studies: pages 316-320, which are provided here in full. It goes beyond saying that in the almost 130 years since the publication of Rome and the Campagna, our archaeological and topographical knowledge of ancient Rome has improved vastly. While there are still some nuggets in this account, please refer to my Bibliography of the Monuments of Pompey for more recent assessments. His description of the location of the aedes Veneris Victricis is quite wrong, since ancient sources do indicate that it was set high at the back of the cavea.
