Content (note)
The Vigna Moroni is situated on the right of the Via Appia, between the Church of S.Cesareo and the Porta S. Sebastiano, opposite the Tomb of the Scipiones. A very large number of tombs (mostly columbaria) have been found there:Ficoroni excavated no fewer than ninety-two and others were discovered in 1790.
This is identical with the left-hand figure of Corsini MS 65 (Eng. v.6), but probably belongs to the same group as Bn 4 no. 15, and Capp. 284, 33, 41
