Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: The last word in caves: The ornate cave-buildings of the city seemed safe within their guarded entrance until the Romans came along and; instead of storming the gate; cut off the city's water supply and waited for surrender. Then they added ornate; pillared buildings of their own.
