Drum a farre off Cowling (p. 38): In this stage-direction the drums were supposed to be within Corioli rousing the Volscians, and they beat during the Roman attack. The whole back-stage represented Corioli. The balcony was ‘the walls’ upon which the Volscians came to parley with the Romans. A sidedoor represented ‘the gates.’ Through it the Volscians made a sortie and drove back the Romans. Through it again Marcius drives them back and is shut in with them.
