A naked figure carrying a wineskin, which appears upon each of two fine bas-reliefs of the time of Vespasian found near the Rostra Vetera in the Forum during the excavations conducted within the last few years by Signor Pietro Rosa, and which now stand in the Forum, is said, by archaeologists, to represent Marsyas.
The ambulatory is also floored with mosaic, in which is this inscription: NOVA POST VETERA COEPIT SYNFERIUS ESYCHIUS CJUS NEPOS CUM CLERO ET POPULO FECIT HAEC MUNERA DOMUS XPE GRATA TENE.

PRESSUTI has published one volume of the Registers of Honorius III . From the Vatican archives also comes THEINER'S Vetera Monumenta Hib. et Scot. Historiam illustrantia , beginning in 1216.
