thumb|right|300px|The site identified by Boni as the Vulcanal is today protected by a modern gray roof. The excavation is just off the southwest corner of the Arch of Severus and adjacent to the truncated masonry cone of the Umbilicus Urbis. The ruins of the (mostly reconstructed) Rostra Augusti are visible just beyond.
