Plate (Tab. LXVI) taken from book by Paolo Antonio Paoli, president of the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy in Rome (1775-1798), titled:

Latin: Antiquitatum Puteolis Cumis Baiis Existentium Reliquiae.

Italiano: Avanzi delle antichità esistenti a Pozzuoli, Cuma e Baja.[1]

Tabula LXVI, p.101 & Expl. Fol. 35, p.102 (resp. p.210 & 212 / 225 in scanned pdf).

[Napoli]: [s.n.], Anno A.C.N.MDCCLXVIII. [1768]


= Scale Legend =

Latin: Regula[2] [3] [4]

  • Palmorum Neapolitanorum (palmus Neap. = 263.6 mm or 10.38 in)
  • Palmorum Romanorum (palmus R. = 1/4 Roman foot (pes) = 1/4 of [296 mm or 11.7 in] = 74 mm or 2.9 in)
  • Pedum Parisiorum (pied de Paris = 0,324839 metres, today estim. to be 0.324864 metres)
  • Pedum Londoninens. (foot = 4 in or 304.8 mm)

Italiano: Scala[5]

  • di palmi Napolitani
  • di palmi Romani (*)
  • di piedi di Parigi
  • di piedi di Londra
(*) the Roman palm used here is probably not the Ancient Roman palmus (minor), but the 18th C. palmo Romano, the palmo degli Architetti, in use in Roma, Italia (due to the comparison of the scales on the plan itself).
