Manlius Capitolinus, whose house was destroyed in 384 B.C., when the senate decreed that henceforth no patrician should dwell on the arx or Capitolium (Liv. v. 47. 8; vi. 20. 13). On the site of this house, Camillus erected the temple of IUNO MONETA (q.v.) in 344 B.C. One other temple certainly stood on the arx, that of Concord dedicated in 217 B.C., and possibly two others, of VEIOVIS and HONOS ET VIRTUS (qq.v.). There is no record of any other public buildings on the arx, but on its north-east corner was the AUGURACULUM (q.v.), a grassy open space where the augurs took their observations. The original topography of the arx is quite uncertain; for the construction of the church and cloisters of S. Maria in Aracoeli in the ninth century changed completely all previous conditions (cf.

Rodocanachi, Le Capitole 237-242). When the foundations were laid for the great national monument of Victor Emmanuel, which now covers most of the arx north of the Aracoeli and the slope of the hill below, some traces of the scarped cliff and the tufa walls of the primitive fortification of the hill were found The description given seems to show that they were built of 2-foot blocks of tufa like the other sections which at the time of th

The height of this part of the hill was about 49 metres above sea-level, and its area about one hectare. This arx, also called arx Capitolina 1 Cf. Flor. i. 13. 13: arx Capitolini montis. (Liv. vi. 20. 9; xxviii. 39. 15; Val. Max. viii. 14. 1; Tac. Hist. iii. 71), preserved its military importance down to the first century A.D. (see Aberystwyth Studies v. (1923) 33-41, for proof that Sabinus 2 Tacitus uses the following expressions: Sabinus ... arcem Capitolii insedit, usque ad primas Capitolinae arcis fores, Capitolii fores-and only subsequently Capitolium of the other summit-ending his account thus: sic Capitolium (i.e. the temple) clausis foribus indefensum atque indireptum conflagravit. held the arx, and not the temple of Jupiter), though it had no permanent garrison.
