ARX IANICULENSIS

ARX IANICULENSIS
the name given by modern topographers to the
fortifications that were probably erected on the Janiculum, near the
later porta Aurelia, when the first stone bridge, pons Aemilius, was built
across the Tiber in 179 B.C. (see IANICULUM and literature cited).

BASILICA AEMILIA
BASILICA PAULI
on the north side of the forum, between the
curia and the temple of Faustina. In 179 B.C. the censor M. Fulvius
Nobilior contracted for the building of a basilica 'post argentarias novas'
(Liv. xl. 51). In 159 P. Cornelius Scipio Nasica, when censor, installed
a water clock in basilica Aemilia et Fulvia (Varro, LL vi. 4; cf. Censorin.
de die nat. 23. 7; Plin. NH vii. 215: idque horologium sub tecto dicavit
a.u. DXCV). This use of the double name, Aemilia et Fu the whole space between the temple of Faustina (from which
it was separated by a narrow passage) and the Argiletum.
There are some remains, including a column base which probably
belongs to the earliest period of the basilica, of the structures of 179,
78, and 34 B.C. (TF 66-75), or of 78 and 54 B.C. (JRS 1922, 29-31), but
it is clear that little change was made in the extent and plan of the basilica
in the rebuildings of 14 B.C. and 22 A.D.
It consisted of a main hall, divide

FORUM CUPPEDINIS

FORUM CUPPEDINIS
the market where various delicacies were sold
(cuppedia, cf. Walde, Etym. Worterb. s.v.), between the Sacra via and
the Argiletum (Varro, LL v. 146; Fest. 48; Donat. Ter. Eun. 256). This,
with other separate markets, was incorporated in the MACELLUM (q.v.) of
Fulvius Nobilior in 179 B.C. (Jord. i. 2. 434). In Symmachus (ep. iii. 19)
it is called forum Cupedinarium.

FORUM PISCARIUM
the fish-market north of the forum, between the
Sacra via and the Argiletum. It was burned in 210 B.C. (Liv. xxvi. 27. 2)
and rebuilt the next year. In 179 it was incorporated in the general
Macellum, built by Fulvius Nobilior in the same region (Liv. xl. 51. 5;
Varro, LLv. 146-7 ; cf. Hermes xv. I 19). This forum is called piscatorium
in Livy, and piscarium in Varro and Plautus (Curc. 474).

IUNO REGINA, AEDES
(templum, Liv. xl. 52):
a temple near the circus
Flaminius, vowed by the consul M. Aemilius Lepidus in 187 B.C., in his
last battle with the Ligures (Liv. xxxix. 2. I), and dedicated by Aemilius
while censor in 179 (Liv. xl. 52. I) on 23rd December (Fast. Ant. ap. NS
1921, 121). A porticus connected this temple with one of Fortuna
(Obseq. 16), perhaps that of FORTUNA EQUESTRIS (q.v.). A probable
site for the temple of Juno is just south of the porticus Pompeiana at the
west end of the circus Flaminius (AR 1909, 76; HJ 487; Gilb. iii. 81-82;
Rosch. ii. 601; for identification with one of the two temples of
S. Nicola ai Cesarini, see BC 1918, 135-136).

MACELLUM
the first of the three macella known to us in Rome, situated
just north of the forum. We are told that this market was burned in
210 B.C. (Liv. xxvii. II) and rebuilt, but in 179 B.C. M. Fulvius Nobilior
seems to have erected a new structure on the north-east side of the basilica
Aemilia (which was built by himself and his colleague in the censorship),
which absorbed the forum piscarium, the forum cuppedinis, and other
special markets that occupied this site (Varro, LL v. 146-147 ; Fest. 238;
Liv. xl. 51). It probably consisted of a central building, which in Varro's
time was a tholos in shape, surrounded with shops (Liv. loc. cit.; Varro
ap. Non. 448; Altm. 73, 74). The name, like the Greek JadeXXov (Varro,
LL. v. 146), is thought to be Semitic in origin (Walde, s.v.), but was
variously explained by the Romans (Varro, loc. cit.; Fest. 125; Donat.
ad Ter. Eun. 256). The entrance to the market-house was called fauces
macelli (Cic. Verr. iii. 145; pro Quinct. 25), and a shor
