In JRS vol. XXIX (1939), 45 ff., Mr. C. A. Ralegh Radford reported on a considerable number of the discoveries of recent years in Rome and Italy. To these have been added others made in the period from 1938 to 1945. They are in part already published, but others still await publication. I wish to give a complete picture of all these in a rapid and general survey, to show how greatly our knowledge of Roman archaeology has been increased in the last few years.
Among the discoveries in Rome mentioned by Mr. Radford, there are several which deserve a fuller description in the light of-later information provided by the excavators, namely the Domus Augustana on the Palatine, and the reliefs of the Cancelleria, whereas the accounts of the temples in the Largo Argentina (p. 46), the Mausoleum of Augustus (p. 47), the Ara Pacis (p. 48), the theatre of Marcellus (p. 49), the Barberini Mithraeum (p. 50), the Senate House (Curia) (p. 51), and the Castra Severiana of the Equites Singulares (p. 52), can be considered complete.
