"hic locus est Vestae, qui Pallada servat et ignem,
haec fuit antiqui regia parva Numae."
Inde petens dextram "porta est" ait "ista Palati,
hic Stator, hoc primum condita Roma loco est."
...this is the place of Vesta, who guards Pallas and the flame,
This was the small palace of ancient Numa."
From there seeking the right side, "That is the gate of the Palatine,"
This is Stator, in this place, Rome was first established.
(Ovid - Tristia 3.1 29-32)
