our little apartment building dates from 1500
the arch was erected about 1300
my source is an architectural historian
from john cabot here in roma
on the wall under the arch
is a sign on the wall inscribed in Latin on a marble slab
dated 1733
it says not to discard refuse under the arch
offenders risk monetary fine
and corporeal punishment
the city of Roma now puts
our refuse cans under the arch
