« Que Memphis cesse de nous vanter les barbares miracles de ses pyramides, que l'on ne chante plus les merveilles de Babylone ; tout doit céder devant l'immense travail de l'amphithéâtre des Césars, toutes les voix de la renommée doivent se réunir pour vanter ce monument. »
Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, p. 356 · C1
