To the Spirits of the Departed...." Thus begins the inscription on this massive monument 
erectedto the memory of  Procurator Gaius Julius Alpinus Classicianus by his wife, Julia
Pacata.This man was one of the most powerful people in Britain, as his impressive recon-
structed memorial of 7 ,ft indicates. He was the financial equivalent of, and second only to
the Roman Governor. 
Classicianus was appointed to rebuild  Britain's economy  after  the Governor Paullinus' 
devastating reprisals following the Boudican Rebellion of  AD 60. Classicianus opposed
Paullinus' harsh policies and was eventually instrumental in having him recalled to Rome.
Two sections of the monument were discovered reused in London's city wall in 1852 and
a third in 1935.

The largest of  the structures on Calton Hill is the National Monument. It was 
conceived in 1816 (the year after the Battle of Waterloo) as a memorial to the 
fallen of the Napoleonic wars. 

The imposing building at the western end of Regent Road is St Andrew's House, 
a  part of  the  Scottish  Office. It  was completed  in 1939, just  in  time to deal 
with a mountain of administrative paperwork created by the onset of the Second 
World War. The building stands on  the site of the old municipal prison, the only 
remaining fragment of which is the Gothic and castellated Governor's House.

Calton Hill also serves as our introduction to the classical architecture 
that is the hallmark of  Edinburgh's Georgian  New Town : on a flank of 
the hill stand the elegant  buildings of  Regent Terrace, Carlton Terrace
and Royal Terrace
