single human etfigy, with a false head, and very broad, but showing noextremities or other outlines of the figure. Lima. Unlike most Peruvim cities, Lima dates only from post-Columbian times,having been founded by Francesco Pizarro in 1535.

In fact, like Washington, it began by being a city of mag-nificent distances, in anticipation of its destinies as metropolis of a mightyempire.
