FORUM SUARIUM
the pork market of Rome during the empire, mentioned
first in two inscriptions of about 200 A.D. (
CIL vi. 3728=31046, 9631),
and then in documents of later date (Not. Reg. VII; Pol. Silv. 545;
Cod.
Theodosianus xiv. 4. 4. 4; Philostr. Her. 283 Kays.
1). This market
was near the barracks of the cohortes urbanae in the northern part of
the campus Martius, probably close to the present Propaganda, and its
administration was in the hands of the prefect or of one of his officers
(CIL vi. I 156a; Not. dignit. occ. iv. 10;
Digest. i. 12. I. II). See HJ452;
BC 1895, 48-9;
DE iii. 207; and cf.
CAMPUS PECUARIUS.
