Dionysius Halicarnassensis and † in Romulo Plutarch with the excessive Pomp and Magnificence of the latter of which we shall give an instance in this Discourse The greatest Monument of which Magnificence the Triumphal Arches as we have said was not heard of before Julius Caesar 'T is true there is still retain'd at Rome the memory of Arcus Romuli and Camilli But 't is certain it appears not whether they were Triumphal Arches or no and it is very questionable whether they bear their true Titles Nat. Hist Lib. xxxviii cap. vi For Pliny who flourish'd in the time of Vespasian the Emperour calls them novitium inventum a new invention whose Authority much out-weighs those empty Titles of Arcus Romuli and Camilli of which there is no ancient Record Yet that they were in use before Julius Caesar almost one Century of years ha's been conjectured out of these words of Asconius Pedianus an Authour against whom there is no exception and who
