mentioned by Suetonius as the place from which Caligula viewed the
games in the Circus Maximus, is supposed to have been a house occupied
by the guard and servants of the palace. Its ruin consists of chambers
at the base of the hill, under the convent. It was here that the skit
of the Crucifixion, now in the Museum of the Collegio Romano, was
found. (See page 160.) The walls are still covered with names, &c.,
scratched by the soldiers.
