CASTOR, AEDES
a temple of Castor (or the Dioscuri ?) in
circo Flaminio,
that is, in
Region IX, to which there are but two
references. Its day of
dedication was 13th August (Hemerol. Allif. Amit. ad id.
Aug.; CIL i 2.
p. 325 : Castori Polluci in Circo Flaminio; Fast. Ant. ap.
NS 1921, 107),
and it is cited by Vitruvius (iv. 8. 4) as an example of an
unusual type
(
columnis adiectis dextra ac sinistra ad umeros pronai),
like a temple of
Athene on the Acropolis at Athens, and another at Sunium
(
Gilb. iii.
76, 84).
