Alcuni han pensato, che fosse d’Ercole; ma il Cluverio nel libro 3. de Italia antiqua suppone che fosse di Tiburno per quelle parole di Stazio nel libro 1. delle Selve…. illa recubat Tiburnus in umbra; illic sulphureos cupit Albula mergere crines. Sul fregio di esso leggesi questa tronca iscrizione….. F.L.GELLIO.L.F. Abbiamo due Lucj Gellj figliuoli di Lucio. Consoli l’uno l’anno di Roma DCXXCI, l’altro l’anno DCCXVII, l’uno di essi forse fece o ristaurò questo tempio. 2 Altro tempio antico, oggi di San Giorgio. Anche questo, per que’ versi di Stazio potrebbe dirsi della Dea Albunea….. illa Tiburnus in umbra, illic Albula. Signature: Pressa l’Autore a Strada Felice nel Palazzo Tomati vicino alla Trinità de monti. Signature 2: Piranesi Fec(it).Title: View of the Temple of the Sibyl in Tivoli. Key: Commonly called by this name. Some have thought that the Temple was of Hercules; but Clüver in Book 3 of Italia Antiqua suggests that it was of Tiburnus because of those words by Statius in Book 1 of the Silvae... illa recubat Tiburnus in umbra; illic sulphureos cupit Albula mergere crines [here Tiburnus lies in this shade; here Albula wishes to wash her sulphurous hair]...on the frieze of this one reads this cut off inscription...F.L.GELLIO.L.F. We have two Lucius Gelliuses, son of Lucius. Both consuls, one in the year of Roma DCXXCI, the other in the year DCCXVII, one of them perhaps built or restored this temple. 2 Another ancient temple, now San Giorgio. Even this temple, for those verses of Statius, one could say that it is of the Goddess Albunea...here Tibur in the shade, here Albula. Signature: Published by the Author in the Strada Felice in Palazzo Tomati near Trinità de Monti. Signature 2: Made by Piranesi.Jeanne Brittone120651dde677d5cf1fd515358b14d86eb289f11
