ARCUS AUGUSTI

ARCUS AUGUSTI
* two arches erected in honour of Augustus in the forum,
one in 29 B.C., to commemorate the victory at Actium, the other in 19 B.C.,
on account of the return of the standards captured by the Parthians
at Carrhae (Cass. Dio li. 19; liv. 8). It is explicitly stated that the
latter stood iuxta aedem divi Iulii (Schol. Veron. Verg. Aen. vii. 605).
These arches are represented on coins, that of 29 B.C. 1 Dated 16 B.C. by the B.M. Catalogue. on a denarius
of Vinicius (Babelon, Vinicia 4; Cohen, Aug. 544; BM Rep. ii. 50, 4477-8
= BM Aug. 77, 78), and that of 19 B.C. on coins of 18-17 B.C. (Cohen,
Aug. 82-85; BM Aug. 427-9). The earlier coins represent a triple arch,
surmounted with a quadriga in the centre and barbarians on the sides.
The archways are of equal height, and the middle piers double the width
of the outer. The later coins also represent a triple arch, with quadriga
and figures of barbarians, and piers of the same relative width as the
other, but the central po

IUVENTAS, AEDES
a temple of Iuventas (Hebe) vowed by M. Livius
Salinator on the day of the battle of the Metaurus in 207 B.C., begun by
him when censor in 204, and dedicated by C. Licinius Lucullus in 193
(Liv. xxxvi. 36. 5-6). It was burned in 16 B.C. (Cass. Dio liv. 19. 7:to\ th=s *neo/thtos me/garon) and restored by Augustus (Mon. Anc. iv. 8
=Grk. x. 12:nao\s *neo/thtos). It is possible that in later times the
Roman youth on assuming the toga virilis made their offerings in this
temple, although this custom was assigned by Lucius Piso to Servius
Tullius (Dionys. iv. 15. 5), and the early offerings were made at the shrine
of Iuventas on the Capitol. This temple was ' in circo Maximo ' (Liv. loc.
cit.) and near that of Summanus (Plin. NH xxix. 57), therefore probably
on the Aventine side, towards the west end of the circus (HJ 119;
Rosch. ii. 765; Gilb. iii. 93; WR 136).

PORTICUS QUIRINI
(search)
PORTICUS QUIRINI
built around the temple of QUIRINUS (q.v.), probably
by Augustus when he restored the temple in 16 B.C. It is mentioned only
once (Mart. xi. I. 9), but was evidently very popular.
