Roman cities in Italy and Dalmatia . of the Government archseologists, whobelieve that temples and city were rebuilt underthe Empire. This seems more than doubtful tome, any more than the Byzantine fragmentsprove a medieval township.

Weenter Norba by a large fortified gateway on thesoutheast corner, defended on the right by alarge circular bastion. The wall circuit of aboutseven thousand feet with its gateways is prac-tically complete. In comparison with later citiesit is not large, and is, of course far smaller thangreat Etruscan cities like Veii. Standing on thesummit of a rocky ledge, there has been in allthese two thousand years but a slight accumula-tion of earth over the site; several streets withtheir sidewalks, three temple groups, the cityreservoir, several well and treasure chambers,some civil buildings and the walls which divide.
