Notes on the Cult of Hercules Victor in Tibur and its Neighbourhood
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 September 2012
Extract
I cannot send these notes to be printed without a few words in affectionate remembrance of Dr. Thomas Ashby, ὁ τριπόθατος without whose help and guidance they could never have been written. His premature death makes a void, of which others will speak, in the ranks of archaeologists, not in Rome and England only, and of the many friends by whom his memory will be cherished. Our deepest sympathy goes to Mrs. Ashby.

page 277 note 4 P.B.S.R., iii, 150. The road from Rome to Tibur and on to Carseoli, the Fucine Lake, etc., is the Via Valeria; but the stretch of it from Rome to Tibur was, and is, called Via Tiburtina. The name survives in a bit of ancient paved road, Via San Valerio, leading up from the Ponte Acquoria to the Porta Scura. In the town and beyond it the road is always ‘Via Valeria.’
