VICUS RACILIANI MAIORIS-MINORIS

a street in Region XIV (CIL vi. 975), otherwise unknown, but probably to be connected with the PRATA QUINCTIA(q.v.): for Cincinnatus' wife's name was Racilia (Liv. iii. 26. 9). An inscription recording the gift of a statue of Hercules to a collegium iuvenum Racillanensium, which was recently noticed in a shop near the Janiculum, no doubt came from the same locality (RAP iv. 394, 395; Marucchi, App. al Cat. dcl Mus. Lateranense ('927), p. 6, n. 245 B.).
