The gradual emergence 9. splen- dJid remains of “Roman Kome' from a coating of debris sometimes 30 feet deep collected during 2,000 vears of neglect, has been accom- panied by the destruction of many dpeets and scores of houses con- structed in more recent times, con- stituting the most squalid sections of the city. Digging into the forum of Augus- tus, which now is entirely free of encumbrances, produced the base- ment of the Marte Vendicators Temple, parts of two triumphal srches, part of a G50-foot colloss statue, rooms spledidly decorated in marble, and » mediacval castle, as well as innumerable fragments of mosaics and statues, Similar finds were made at Ne and Trajan forums where excavations are con- tinuing. v Difficultics have been overcom: in probing into the Augustan mau- soleum which lies under Rome' principal concert hall. thereby me- cessitating the restriction of areh- ological activities to su: r sea- ons when there are no con The most ambitious work thus ar has been the restoration of the Marcellus er which when fin- hed—it is mitted will take nany years—uwill vie in impress loss with the Coliseum.

Thousands of tons of debris have been removed from the theater permitting entrance to several care- fully constructed gallerics as s the stage.
