South of the sacred Camœnæ wood, on the
Vicus Cyclopis, appears the
Barracks of the Vth cohort of the Security Guards ( Cohors V Vigilum )
in the centre of the picture. A great rectangular building, rather imposing. At the bottom of the picture, quite close to the barracks, the
House of L. Marius Maximus Perpetuus
who was a consul in 198. At the foot of the promontory of this Domus, was a crevice or a hole known as the
Den of the Cyclops
from which the name of
Vicus Cyclopis comes.
