All this did not help me much, just a long and senseless disquisition on the year of foundation of the city, which they wanted to be prior to the foundation of Rome. To sanction these news on the year of foundation of the city of Jesi the words of a pontiff, Pope Innocent III, came later who, as if to put an end to any dispute in this regard, thus wrote in a brief addressed to the Chapter on Jesi: Quod Civitas Aesina ad Aesio Rege quindecim annis ante Urbem conditam extructam.... Okay, all we needed now was the quotation in Latin. I was disappointed, I was looking for references to any maps of the ancient city of Aesis, to the connections of the ancient Roman streets with the basements of the palaces that I had had the opportunity to admire the day before, but I could not find any.
