The Inteeior Buildings. 171 



It would seem an omission not to mention, in connection with 

 the constructive and artistic aspects of the station, the names of two 

 architects (architectns), which a]3pear in tlie paper on the Inscribed 

 Stones. One is named •' Amandus," and the other " Gamidiahus." 

 Doubtless they were military officers, but architects nevertheless, 

 since Vitiuvius himself while an architect held an appointment and 

 had charge of the engines of war, which he describes in his book on 

 architecture. The first owes the preservation of his name to the 

 religion of some one else. The inscription embracing it beneath 

 the figure of Brigantia reads :— " Sacred to Brigantia. Amandus 

 the architect (erected this) by command . . ." It may be 

 inferred from the inscription that he had charge of such works. 

 Through his own piety the name of the other has come down to 

 us. " Sacred to Harmella. Gamidiahus the arc[hitect] performed 

 his vows, willingly, gladly, deservedly.'"
