Fonteia 18; BM. Rep. i. 479, 3856-60) as a walled enclosure, within
which was a square building with two stories, of which the lower opened
outward with a row of arches. It was also decorated with paintings
and statues (Varro, RR iii. 2). If, as seems probable, the Villa is represented on fragments of the Marble Plan (FUR 103, 97; Mitt. 1903,
47-48), it existed as late as the second century, but much reduced in
size and merely as a monument of antiquity. No ruins have been found,
but its site, just north of the Piazza del Gesu, is determined as close to
the Saepta (Cic. ad Att. iv. 16. 14; Varro, loc. cit.; cf. BPW 1903, 575;
cf., however, for a site further west, BC 1918, 120-126), the circus Flaminius
(Plut. Sulla 30), and the temple of Bellona, for the senate, assembled in
this temple, heard the groans of the four thousand prisoners taken in the
