BASILICA PORCIA
(search)
BASILICA PORCIA
the first basilica in Rome, built for
judicial and business
purposes by Cato in 184 B.C., in the face of much
opposition (Liv. xxxix.
44; Ascon. in Mil. arg. 34; Plut. Cat. Mai. 19; Cat. Min. 5;
de vir.
ill. 47). It stood a little west of the curia, IN LAUTUMIIS
(q.v.), on ground
purchased by Cato and occupied by shops and two private
houses, those
of Maenius and Titius. In it the tribunes held court. It was
burned
in 52 B.C. with the curia of Sulla at the funeral of Clodius,
and
probably totally destroyed, as there is no further mention
of it (Jord.
i. 2. 344; Mitt. 1893, 84, 91; BC 1914, 107; Thed. 138-
139).

VENUS ERUCINA, AEDES
(search)
VENUS ERUCINA, AEDES
(templum, Ovid;i(ero/n, Strabo, Appian):
a temple
of the Venus of Mt. Eryx in Sicily (Ov. Fast. iv. 872; Rem. Am. 550)
vowed during the war with the Ligurians by L. Porcius Licinus when
consul in 184 B.C., and dedicated by him as duumvir in 181 (Liv. xl. 34. 4).
It was outside the porta Collina but not far from it (Ov. Fast. iv. 871;
Rem. Am. 549; Liv. xxx. 38. io; App. BC i. 93; Fast. Arv. ad ix Kal.
Mai, CIL i². p. 214, 215, 316; Strabo vi. 2. 5 (p. 272) ), and probably on
the west side of the via Salaria, perhaps near the present Via Belisario.
Festivals were celebrated here on 23rd April, the Vinalia (Ov. Fast. loc. cit.;
Fast. Ant. ap. NS 1921, 94), and on 24th October (Fast. Praen., cf.
Hulsen in DAP 2. xv. 326 sqq.). According to Strabo (loc. cit.), it was
a copy of the temple at Mt. Eryx, and surrounded by a noteworthy
porticus. This seems to have been a resort of questionable characters (Ov.
locc. citt.; cf. CIL vi. 2274: sortilegus ab Venere Erucina).
