Prof. Dr. J. H. Jongkees calls my attention to the publication of R. Lanciani, Wanderings in the Roman Campagna, London 1909, 178 where the monuments are also mentioned. The vineyard of Orazio Muti was situated on the very spot where the Via Venezia now branches off from the Via Nazionale.
Tabula marmorea reperta in area 'del Policlinico' proxime viam Cupam.
CIL VI 36764; Lugli, Fontes IV, 237 No. 246.
Donum dedit/Invicto (sic) Apolloni(us) / Tetes Syras a Mar/cianepo[l]i Fla(vius) Marce[l]us v(ir) p(erfectissimus).
Pro invicto, ut videtur, scilicet Mithrae (Lugli).
