The celebrated Mamertine prison fur­ nishes an important scene In Slenkle- wicz's story, "Qtto Vadis." It is locat­ ed on the slope of the Capitoline, in Some, and, according to tradition, it was begun by Ancus Martius and later enlarged by Servius Tullius. Jugurtlia Is said to have been starved to death here, the accomplices of Catiline stran­ gled by command of Cicero and Seja- nus, the minister and favorite of Tibe­ rius, executed. Church tradition has consecrated this prison as the place where St. Peter and St. Paul were con­ fined by order of Nero. HisArian Hll- lard says of It: "The Mamertine prison Is a hideous vault divided into an upper and lower portion scooped out of the solid rock and lined with massive blocks in the Etruscan style of architecture. A more heartbreaking place of confinement it is not easy to Imagine. According to the traditions of the church, St. Peter was Imprisoned here by order of Nero, and the pillar to which he was bound and a fountain which sprang up mirac­ ulously to furnish the water of baptism to his Jailers, whom he converted, are shown to the visitor. There is no rea­ son to doubt that Jugurtha was starv­ ed to death in these pitiless vaults. Here, too, the companions of Catiline were strangled. It Is a curious fact that the chances of literature and his tory should have carved two sucht names as those of Sallust and Cicero on'these Cyclopean walls."
