Chapter Service Estimates of C by Brewer's Phrase & Fable

Jupiter Capitolinus.
   The ESQUILINE HILL was given by Augustus to Mecænas, who built thereon a magnificent mansion.
   The PALATINE HILL was the largest of the seven. Here Romulus held his court, whence the word “palace” (palatium).
   The QUIRINAL HILL was where the Quirés or Curês settlèd. It was also called “Cabalinus,” from two marble statues of a horse, one of which was the work of Phidias, the other of Praxiteles.
   The VIMINAL HILL was so called from the number of osiers (vimines) which grew there. It contained the Temple of Jupiter Viminalis.

City of the Sun (The). A romance by Campanella, similar to the Republic of Plato, Utopia of Sir Thomas More, and Atlantis of Lord Bacon (1568-1639).

City of the Violet Crown Athens is so called by Aristophanes iostefauoz (see Equites, 1323 and 1329; and Acharnians, 637). Macaulay refers to Athens as the “violet-crowned city.” Ion (a violet) was a representative king of Athens, whose four sons gave names to the four Athenian classes; and Greece, in Asia Minor, was called Ionia. Athens was the city of “Ion crowned its king” or “of the Violet crowned.” Similarly Paris is the “city of lilies”- i.e. fleurs-de-luce or Louis-flowers.
    I do not think that Athens was called from “the purple hue which Hymettus assumed in the evening sky.”
