The town, which is furrounded with walls, has four 
gates, and a caftle fituated towards the fea, on an emi¬ 
nence almoll in the middle of the town. It was a Ro¬ 
man colony, and poflefles many antiquities ; viz. an am¬ 
phitheatre, which was not improbably built by Diocle¬ 
tian or Maximin, a rufticated building, rudely finifhed ; 
in form an ellipfis, of which the longed diameter lies 
nearly north and fouth, meafuring 436 feet 6 inches; its' 
fhorteft 346 feet 2 inches; and its height, in the part 
now left mod perfedf, is 97 feet. As it is altogether of a 
fecond-rate clafs, both in magnitude and ftyle, and has 
been reprefented in former publications, we need not now 
enter into detailed obfervations refpefiting it. Nearly in 
the centre of the town are the ruins of two temples ; one 
built in honour of L. Sergius Lepidus, by his confort 
Salvia Podhuma, and the other by the town of Pola, in 
honour of the city of Rome and Augudus. The town 
contains about 7000 inhabitants, whole trade principally 
confids in the fifliery of tunny-fifh, carried on between 
the rocks near Pola. It is forty-four miles fouth of Tri- 
ede, and thirty fouth of Capo d’ldria. Lat. 45. 5. N.

the upper part of the lower rigging. They carry the fame 
fails as a fhjp, and have fquare yards; all of which, ex¬
