ably of wood, for a century later they were painted (Enn. ap. Cic. de div. i. 108:omnes avidi spectant ad carceris oras quam mox emittat pictis e faucibus currus). For further mention of the fori publici, see Liv. xxix. 37 (204 B.C.); CIL i 2. 809 (first century B.C.). It is probable that after the carceres the next permanent part of the circus to be constructed was the spina (see below), and that on it were placed those statues of which we have record, one of Pollentia (Liv. xxxix. 7. 8 (189 B.C.): malus in circo instabilis in signum Pollentiae procidit atque id deiecit), and others (Liv. xl. 2. I: signa alia in circo maximo cum columnis quibus superstabant evertit). It is also possible that the arch of Stertinius (see FORNIX STERTINII) with its gilded statues, erected in 196 B.C. (Liv. xxxiii. 27. 4), may have stood in the line of the spina, but the temple of IUVENTAS (q.v.) of 191 (Liv. xxxvi. 36. 5) was on one side. A permanent spina presupposes the covering over of the stream,
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, 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.
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, HERCULES MUSARUM, AEDES (search)
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 ii.

s a locality on the extreme north of the city, AD NUCEM (q.v.); cf. HJ add. p. xxi. The troops assembled here when setting out for war (Liv. vii. 23. 3), and the transvectio equitum began here (Dionys. vi. 13). In it was a statue of Mars and figures of wolves (Liv. xxii. I. 12: signum Martis Appia via ac simulacra luporum sudasse), and near by was the MANALIS LAPIS (2) (q.v.). There are no certain remains of this temple, but some inscriptions relating to it have been found in the immediate vicinity (CIL vi. 473, 474 (=30774), 478). In 189 B.C. the via Appia was paved from the porta Capena to this point (Liv. xxxviii. 28. 3), and the road was then known as the VIA TECTA (q.v.), no doubt from the construction of a portico along it (Ov. cit.) (HJ 213-214; Gilb. ii. 96-97; Rosch. ii. 2390-2391; BC 1900, 91; It is here proposed to identify the temple with that represented on one of the Aurelian reliefs on the Arch of Constantine; but see FORTUNA REDUX, TEMPLUM. 1906, 209-223; T ix. 37).

ther north- east than the modern Via di Porta S. Sebastiano. It was flanked by tombs and columbaria both within and without the walls. The first milestone was situated just inside the porta Appia (LS iii. I; CIL x. 6812-3; HF i. p. 409). The original road was only gravelled (glareo strata); in 296 B.C. a footpath was laid saxo quadrato from the gate to the templum Martis (Liv. x. 23. 12); three years later the whole road was paved with silex from the temple to Bovillae (ib. 47. 4), and in 189 B.C. the first mile, from the gate to the temple, was similarly treated (Liv. xxxviii. 28. 3). Its further course cannot be dealt with here. The description of the method of its construction in Procop. BG i. 14 is interesting; cf. Stat. Silv. iv. 3. 40-55. The earliest milestone we have belongs to about 250 B.C. (CIL i². 21), and others belong to Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian and Theodoric (CIL ix. 6075; x. 6812-6880; cf. p. 99 ; NS 1910, 292). For the road as a whole, see Canina, Via Appia, Rome 1853
