CLIVUS MARTIS
(search)
CLIVUS MARTIS
the name given to that part of the via Appia, just before
it is crossed by the line of the later Aurelian wall, where it ascended to
the temple of MARS (q.v.). Cf. Fast. Ant. ap. NS 1921, 97, Marti in
Cl[ivo], 1st June. In process of time the grade of the road was removed
or at least very much diminished (CIL vi. 1270). In 296 B.C. the clivus
was paved (Liv. x. 23), and repaved in 189 B.C., when it was provided
with a porticus, and afterwards known as the VIA TECTA (q.v.) (Liv.
xxxviii. 28; Ov. Fast. vi. 191-2). This via Tecta is to be distinguished
from the via Tecta in the campus Martius.

HERCULES MUSARUM, AEDES
(bwmo/s Plut. q. Rom. 59):
a temple of
Hercules and the Muses, erected by M. Fulvius Nobilior after his capture
of Ambracia in 189 B.C., and probably after his triumph in 187. Fulvius
is said to have done this because he learned in Greece that Hercules
was a musagetes (Eumen. pro rest. Schol. 7. 8 (c. 297 A.D.); Cic. pro
Arch. 27). In this temple Fulvius set up a copy of the Fasti with notes,
probably the first of this kind (Macrob. Sat. i. 12. 16; for a possible
reference to this, see Varro, LL vi. 33), and also the statues from Ambracia
of the nine Muses by an unknown artist, and that of Hercules playing
the lyre (Plin. NH xxxv. 66; Ov. Fast. vi. 812; cf. Ars Am. iii. 168);
and a bronze shrine of the Muses that was attributed to the time of Numa
and had been in the temple of Honos et Virtus until this was built (Serv.
Aen. i. 8). The statue of Hercules and those of the nine Muses are
represented on denarii of Q. Pomponius Musa, about 64 B.C. (Babelon
