Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Alle Pile nella parte dinanzi corrispondono tre piani per le Iscrizioni, i quali internandosi alquanto sono attorniati da una gola, che serve a quelli di cornice. Tra un piano, e l’altro, come ancora da una parte verso il lato manco, si veggono incisi degli uccelli e de’ fogliami alla maniera de’ grotteschi. Gli angoli nella parte di sopra tra una Pila, e l’altra, sono ornati di rose scolpite in bassorilievo.plain2025-11-12T13:29:41-08:00Ava ODonnelled050f5c95bebbf7062e2a8be2fb85998d9159e7
