[Illustration: FIG.20.NAPLES.ADAPTED FROM A PLAN OF 1865.
(TH = Theatre, T = Temple.)] This Neapolis town had, as certain existing streets declare, a peculiar form of town-planning.

The area covered by these streets is an irregular space of 250 acres in the heart of the modern city, about 850 yds.

from north to south and 1,000 yds.

from east to west.[86] In Roman days three straight streets ran parallel from east to west and a large number of smaller streets, twenty or so, ran at right angles to them from north to south.
