EQUUS TREMULI
(search)
EQUUS TREMULI
an equestrian statue of Q. Marcius Tremulus, consul in
306 B.C., erected in front of the temple of Castor and Pollux to commemorate his victory over the Hernici (Liv. ix. 43. 22). It was still
standing in Cicero's day (Phil. vi. 13), but had disappeared before the time
of Pliny (NH xxxiv. 23). A concrete base in front of the temple of
Divus Iulius has been believed to be that of this statue (NS 1904, 106;
CR 1904, 330; BC 1904, 178-179 ; Atti 583, 584), but it certainly belongs
to the Augustan period (Mitt. 1905, 73, 74; P1. 260, 261; HC 155).
To suppose either that so comparatively unimportant a monument
would have been restored and placed in front of the new temple, or that,
having been restored, it would so soon have disappeared, is almost
impossible; and it is far more natural to attribute it to a statue of Caesar
himself. See STATUA (LORICATA) DIVI IULII.

PORTA CARMENTALIS
(search)
PORTA CARMENTALIS
a gate in the Servian wall which derived its name
from the neighbouring shrine of CARMENTA (q.v.) at the south-west corner
of the Capitoline (Dionys. i. 32; x. 14; Solin. i. 13; Liv. xxiv. 47;
xxv. 7; xxvii. 37; Plut. Cam. 25). The location of this gate was very
near the intersection of the present Via della Consolazione and the Via
della Bocca della Veriti. It appears to have had two openings (Liv. ii. 49;
Ov. Fast. ii. 201), and one of these openings was called porta Scelerata
because the ill-fated Fabii marched through it into Etruscan territory in
306 B.C. (Ov. Fast. ii. 203; Fest. 285, 334, 335; Verg. Aen. viii. 337, and
Serv.; Jord. i. I. 238-239; Hermes 1870, 234; 1882, 428; Gilb. ii. 299;

Progr. 1910; AR 1909, 71; BC 1914, 77; CR 1918, 14-16; Fowler,

gate, cf. M61. 1909, 103).
