the limits within which he would make his observations and _divided
mentally the enclosed space into four divisions_.... He next ...
prayed and offered sacrifices...." "We learn from ... the augur
Cicero that while the Romans only had four divisions to their
heavens-templum, the Etruscans had sixteen, obtained by bisecting
and rebisecting the four angles" (O'Neil, p. 433).

129 The cult of Ishtar=Isis, associated with mystery and of
Serapis=Osiris, had been instituted in Rome by Domitian (A.D. 82)
who caused temples to be built for them. Curious instances of the
spread of the cults of other countries throughout the Roman empire
have come under my personal notice. In the Museum at Bonn, Germany,
there is a Roman tombstone the inscription on which consists of a
wheel above the name Jovis, the association of Jove with the wheel,
being very remarkable and significant in connection with the present
subject.

At Nimes in the South of France, a curious statue of Mithra was
found in the ruins of the Roman city. It consists of a Hermes,
surmounted by a hairy, dog-like face. A great serpent is wound
around the Hermes, the signs of the zodiac being sculptured between
the coils. In the light of the present investigation the meaning of
the symbolical statue seems too obvious to require explanation. It
is strange that the recollection of seeing this statue at the age of
nine with my father, who pointed out and explained the signs of the
zodiac to me, is one of the most vivid of my childhood.

130 The curious association of the number seven with Stonehenge in gypsy
folk-lore, which possibly contains vestiges of Druidical folk-lore,
is brought out by R. G. Haliburton in his paper on "Gypsy folk-lore
as to Stonehenge," to which I refer the reader.

131 In the case of Mayapan, Yucatan, the practical use of analogous
council-houses is described (p. 209). The Irish tower and seven
houses are remarkably in accord with the scheme of organization used
in ancient Greece where, at Tenos, each gens was known as "a tower"
and each gens, as well as its town, was divided into at least seven
parts (p. 456).
