Ancient Town-Planning

CHAPTER V

10 and by Dionysius Halic.vii.13 _ad fin_.

261; Frothingham, _Roman Cities_, plate ix.

I am indebted to Dr.T.Ashby, Director of the British School at Rome, for information as to the site.
Excavations made in 1823 at the Roman Falerii (founded 241 B.C.) show streets crossing at right angles, but the piece unearthed was small and the date uncertain (Canina, _Etruria Maritima_ i, plate ix).
It may be permitted in this context to add a plan of a north Italian city, in which some of the modern streets recall one quarter of Pompeii (fig.

14).
