CAMPUS TIBERINUS
another name for the
CAMPUS
MARTIUS (q.v.) according
to Gellius (vii. 7. 4), who, with Pliny (
NH xxxiv. 25; cf.
Plut. Popl. 8),
relates the story of its presentation to the people by a
Vestal, Gaia
Taracia or Fufetia (
RE vii. 480-483). It has also been
explained as that
part of the campus Martius that borders the river from the
island northward and identified with the
CAMPUS MINOR (q.v.) of
Catullus (lv. 3),
and the
ἄλλο πέδιον of Strabo (v. 236; HJ 475;
Gilb. ii. 113; cf. the
'Ager Turax' of Cato ap.
Macrob. i. 10. 16).
