COLUMNA MINUCIA
(search)
COLUMNA MINUCIA
erected in honour of L. Minucius Augurinus,
praefectus annonae in 439 B.C., by order of the people and paid for by
popular subscription-the first occurrence of the kind in Rome (Plin. NH
xxxiv. 21). This column stood outside the porta Trigemina, and is
represented on denarii of 129 and 14 B.C. (Babelon, Minucia, 3, 9, 10) BM. Rep. i. 135. 952-4; 148. 1005-6.
as
surmounted with a statue holding stalks of wheat, and with two other
statues standing at its base, one of which seems to represent Minucius.
It is probable, therefore, that this is the same monument referred to
elsewhere in Pliny (NH xviii. 15), where the same story is told, but a statue,
not a column, is mentioned. The bos aurata, which Livy (iv. 16) says
was erected in honour of Minucius outside the porta Trigemina, was
probably part of the same monument (cf. PORTA MINUCIA).
