Ulysses having wandered westward gave plausibility to alleged traces of him in Gaul, Spain and Germany Asciburgium. Now Asburg. Quin etiam, cf. notes, 13: quin etiam, and 14: quin immo. Ulixi, i.e. ab Ulixe, cf. Ann. 15,41: Aedes statoris Jovis Romulo vota, i.e. by Romulus. This usage is especially frequent in the poets and the later prose writers, cf.
A certain luminous atmosphere, rather than positive light was what was aimed at, and the deep shadows of these internal colonnades might have helped this effect, adding to the mystery of the figure of the God. Vitruvius gives this as the 'aedes in antis'.
Had he gone into the Aedes Nympharum, he might have read on brass the so-called royal and tribunician laws; he might have read the treaties with the Sabines, with Gabii and Carthage; the Senatus Consulta and the Plebi Scita. Augustus found in the ruined temple of Jupiter Fucinus the spolia opima of Cossus, who was there declared to have been consul when he won them.
It certainly proves that both caves were connected with the rites having to do with the proper obtaining of lots from Fortuna, and that this communication between the caves was unknown to any but the temple servants. There are some other inscriptions not noticed by Delbrueck which mention the aedes, and bear on the question in hand.
There were other buildings, however, belonging to the precinct of the lower temple, as is shown by the remains today. That there was more than one sacred building is also shown by inscriptions which mention aedes sacrae, though these may refer of course to the upper temple as well. There are yet two inscriptions of importance, one of which mentions a porticus, the other an aedes et porticus.
And every day he felt that he was knowing more, and acquiring a strength and power which should fit him hereafter for the more toilsome business and sterner struggles of common life. Well may old Cowley exclaim "O pulerae sine luxes aedes, vitaeque decore Splendida paupertas ingenuusque pudor!"
MONSTRA evenerunt mihi: Introit in aedes ater alienus canis, Anguis per impluvium decidit de tegulis, Gallina cecinit!* TERENCE. * "Prodigies have occurred: a strange black dog came into the house; a snake glided from the tiles, through the court; the hen crowed."

It shows further that only the lower temple is meant, for the number is too small to be applicable to the great upper temple, and it also shows that aedes, means the temple building itself and not the whole precinct. There is also an inscription, now in the floor of the cathedral, that mentions aedes. Its provenience is noteworthy.
On his right, concealed from view by the Aedes Divi Julii and the Forum Romanum, is that magnificent series of edifices extending from the Temple of Peace to the Temple of Trajan, including the Basilica Pauli, the Forum Julii, the Forum Augusti, the Forum Trajani, the Basilica Ulpia, more than three thousand feet in length and six hundred in breadth, almost entirely surrounded by porticoes and colonnades, and filled with statues and pictures on the whole the grandest series of public buildings clustered together probably ever erected, especially if we take in the Forum Romanum and the various temples and basilicas which connected the whole together a forest of marble pillars and statues.
