SCALAE TARQUITIAE
mentioned only once (Fest. 363:
Tarquitias scalas
quas Tarquinius Superbus fecerit, abominandi eius nominis gratia ita
appellatas esse ait (i.e. Verrius) volgo existimari) and quite unknown,
although the suggestion that they were steps up to the Capitol is plausible
enough (Pais, Ancient Legends, III).
