OFFICINAE MINII
mills for the working of red lead (minium) brought to
Rome from Spain (
Vitr. vii. 9. 4). They were on the Quirinal between
the temple of Flora and that of
QUIRINUS (q.v.), and therefore probably
at the foot of the hill, near the present Via Rasella (
BC 1889, 379;
RhM
1894, 407; HJ 412).
