5. Since the year 187 we find the Syrian musicians (_sambucistriae_)
mentioned also at Rome. Their number grew steadily (Livy, XXXIX, 6; see

10. A temple of the Syrian gods at Rome, located at the foot of the
Janiculum, has been excavated very recently. Cf. Gauckler, _Bolletino
communale di Roma_, 1907, pp. 5 ff. (Cf. Huelsen, _Mitt. Inst. Rom_, XXII,
1907, pp. 225 ff.); _Comptes Rendus Acad. Inscr._, 1907, pp. 135 ff.; 1908,

sanctuaire des dieux orientaux au Janicule_, Rome, 1909 (Extr. des "Mel.
Ecole franc. de Rome," XXIX). In it have been found dedications to Hadad of
the Lebanon, to the Hadad [Greek: akroreites], and to Maleciabrudus (in
regard to the latter see Clermont-Ganneau, _Rec. d'archeol. or._, VIII,
1907, p. 52). Cf. my article "Syria Dea" in Daremberg-Saglio-Pottier,
_Diction. des antiquites gr. et rom._, 1911.

influences, _Lecons du Louvre_, I, 1899, pp. 115, 327 ff. For the
