Inscription. Click to hear the inscription.

Un basamento in opera cementizia, in parte collassato per la presenza di ampie cavità sotterranee, si trova nel largo spiazzo oggi tenuto a giardino, che corrispondeva in antico ad una piazza, forse l'Area Palatina nominata dagli autori antichi. Essa doveva costituire il cuore del Palatino, poiché vi prospettavano entrambi i palazzi imperiali: la facciata della domus Augustana, ma anche la domus Tiberiana. Il basamento appartiene probabilmente ad un tempio, di cui costituisce il podio, ma è incerto a quale divinità potesse essere dedicato.

English:
A concrete platform, partially collapsed due to the presence of large underground cavities, stands in the large open area now used as a garden. In ancient times this was a city square, perhaps the Area Palatina mentioned by ancient authors. This must have been the heart of the Palatine, overlooked by both the imperial palaces: both the façade of the domus Augustana and of the domus Tiberiana. The platform probably belonged to a temple, of which it was the podium, but it is unclear which deity it was dedicated to.
