  1. Ron says:

    “Near the trophies of Marius the following edifice is to be feen, in a round form, which, next to the Pantheon , is the greateft round fabrick in Pome. They vulgarly call this place the Galluce ; hence fome have laid, that in that place was the basilica of Caius and of Lucius… This edifice is all of brick, and mmst have been coated with marble ; but now it is en¬ tirely ftripped. The cell in the middle, which is perfedtly round, is divided into ten faces, and in each face it has a chapel hidden in the thicknefs of the walls, excepting in the face where the entrance is. The two cells that are on the fides must have been very much adorned, becaufe there are many niches to be seen…” (Palladio)
