Plate II represents the general plan of the later excavations near the Forum, and serves to unite the new discoveries with those described on a former occasion, as well as to exhibit the whole group or insula of public buildings and habitations behind the chalcidicum, the curia, and the Pantheon. The general plan of the thermae, with its situation relative to the Forum, is comprehended, and the position of the house of the Tragic Poet will be connected with what was formerly published by its juxtaposition with the house of Pansa.

The Temple of Fortune, and the street extending to it from the Forum, with its continuation under a triumphal arch, were new discoveries till the year 1827, as well as the street of the thermae, which runs along the flank of the temple.

The plans of the chalcidicum and the Pantheon might have been given at large, but they occupy a sufficient space on the present plate to be clearly comprehended.

Of the baths, the Temple of Fortune, and the house of the Poet, more particular details are given in other engravings.
