Note 178
From The Invasion of Spain, part of Chapter 51 of the Decline & Fall

The antiquities of Toledo, Urbs Parva in the Punic wars, Urbs Regia in the sixth century, are briefly described by Nonius (Hispania, c. 59, p. 181-186). He borrows from Roderic the fatale palatium of Moorish portraits, but modestly insinuates that it was no more than a Roman amphitheatre.
