fJLUrr r--rr;vrr ,;•■,-Vr^^ c DESCRIPTION OF FORUM. 97 attached to the shattered walls of the different edifices, andthe pedestals, which once supported statues commemoratingthose who had deserved well of their country, are all thatnow remain to attest its former beauty and magnificence. Around the west, south, and east sides there runs a GrecianDoric colonnade, uninterrupted, except on the east, where theporticoes of the surrounding buildings in some instances comeflush up to the colonnade, and in some places break the lineof the upper gallery, preserving an uninterrupted communi-cation below. Where this was the case stairs ran up to thegallery; but probably there was also some communicationbetween these several divisions of it without descending tothe ground. True it is, that as no vestige of this upper storyremains, it may seem rash to assert its existence so boldly ;but the traces of staircases, combined with the authority ofVitruvius, are sufficient to warrant us in doing so.
