[Footnote 36: After many disputes among the antiquaries of
Rome, it seems determined, that the summit of the Capitoline
hill next the river is strictly the Mons Tarpeius, the Arx;
and that on the other summit, the church and convent of
Araceli, the barefoot friars of St. Francis occupy the
temple of Jupiter, (Nardini, Roma Antica, l. v. c. 11 - 16.)
Note: The authority of Nardini is now vigorously impugned,
and the question of the Arx and the Temple of Jupiter
revived, with new arguments by Niebuhr and his accomplished
follower, M. Bunsen. Roms Beschreibung, vol. iii. p. 12, et
seqq - M.]
