of the Roman hotels in the days of
the late repuialie awl the empire:
Most ot. the hostelries and taverne
of ,Rome, says Humbert de Gainer in
"Usages vet Moeuxs d'Autrefols," were
situated along the Appian way. Some
of them were passable. It was at one
of the better ones that Cicero used
freque tlY to stop and write his let-
ters.
The most interesting .hostelries,
however. were near the circuses and
amphitheatres. The shrewd and gen-
erally dishonest owners had a double
purpose in selecting that situation,
It was well ebosen for the patron-
age of the huge crowds that went to
the circuses on holidays to see the
tights between wild animals and the
gladiatorial combats, and the land-
lords could buy conveniently and rea-
sonably those animals that had been
slaughtered during the day, to be.
nerved on their tables.

A large number of the hostelries
displayed upon the ceilings of their'

crows. then we will give credit."
That is the one link that binds the
