CAELIOLUS
CAELIOLUM
a part of the Caelian hill
(Varro,
LL v. 46),
appearing as Caeliculus or Caeliculum in Cicero (de Har.
Resp. 32), and
probably the Caelius minor of Martial (xii. 18. 6). The
vicus Capitis
Africae, the modern via Claudia, seems to have divided the
hill into
two sections, and the smaller, eastern, section was
presumably the
Caeliolus. This is now marked by the church of SS.
Quattro Coronati
(
Gilb. ii. 32; HJ223;
BC 1914, 353; Eranos, 1923, 55).
