AREA CARRUCES
mentioned only in the Regionary Catalogue in
Region I.
This was probably the square in which travellers were accustomed to leave
their carriages (Galen,
περὶ φλεβοτομίας 17), and connected with the
schola carrucarum (better
carrucariorum), or headquarters of those
engaged in the business of transportation (CIL iii. p. 1938;
DE ii. 120;
BC 1912, 204-222; HJ 205; Pr. Reg. 116), which was situated
between the porta Appia and the temple of Mars (
BC 1916, 198-199).
