Excerpt from Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome, Vol. 27 While the importance of the cortile is easily recognized, the facade of the palace does not communicate its significance so readily. It too is unique. But as a work of the very late sixteenth century it is old-fashioned and even odd. A date earlier than 1590 changes this. Every decade, every year it can be pushed back increases its historical importance. The date, the significance, and the great architect of the Borghese facade were the most surprising revelations that the palace had in store.

Excerpt from Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome, 1932, Vol. 10 Plate 1, Figure 3, showing this unusual structure in its restored state, with the vegetation once more rambling over it, speaks more convincingly than words or designs for the soundness of the restoration. It is however with regard to the function which the structure was intended to fulfill that opinions have varied. The restorer proceeded on the assumption that he was dealing with a particular type of garden-house, designed to afford a cool and shady Open-air refuge to the owner and his friends, who were to be imagined as seating themselves on a wooden or stone bench supported on G and H.

Excerpt from Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome, Vol. 25 Two mosaics portraying gladiatorial combats were found together in the seventeenth century in a property called the "Orto del Carciofolo" on the Via Appia outside of Rome. Today these mosaics, illustrated in the plate, are nos. 3600 and 3601 in the Museo Arqueologico Nacional (hereafter Man) in Madrid. Professor Marion Blake discussed them in these Memoirs XVII(1940) 112-113 from drawings since she herself had never seen the originals and did not have any photographs. According to her note 213, she found most details in the drawings published by Winckelmann in Monumenti antichi inediti I plates 197 and 198. Of the pair it is Man 3601 = Winckelmann 198 in which we are primarily interested for its inscription. We may begin with Winckelmann himself who says of the scene: "configurato un combattimento di soli gladiatori anch'essi col lor lanista allato, con la visiera dell'elmo calata, che loro cuopre il viso, cosi com'Eteocle e Polinice combattendo insieme ci son descritti da Stazio." It is notable that he identifies the two non-combatants as lanistae, but Winckelmann does not reveal how he interpreted the inscription, except that he misread each theta as a phi..
