IULIUS, DIVUS, AEDES
(delubrum, Pl.; h(rw=|on, Cass. Dio;new/s, App.):
the temple of the deified Julius Caesar, authorised by the triumvirs in
42 B.C. (Cass. Dio xlvii. 18), but apparently built by Augustus alone
(Mon. Anc. iv. 2: aedem divi Iuli ... feci), and dedicated 18th August,
29 B.C. (Cass. Dio li. 22; Hemerol. Amit. Antiat. ad xv Kal. Sept.).
The body of Caesar was burnt at the east end of the forum, in front of
the Regia (Liv. ep. 116; Plut. Caes. 68), and here an altar was at once
erected (bwmo/s, App. BC i. 4; ii. 148; iii. 2), and a column of Numidian
marble twenty feet high inscribed Parenti Patriae (Suet. Caes. 85).
Column and altar were soon removed by Dolabella Cf. also Cass. Dio xliv. 50. Caesar's veterans had some idea of replacing the altar
(Cic. ad Fam. xi. 2, veteranos de reponenda ara cogitare), which may be identical with the
' bustum ' of Cic. Phil. i. 5, though in Jord. i. 2. 407, it is interpreted as a cenotaph behind
the altar. Cf. CR 1899, 186; and fo

LACUS SERVILIUS
(search)
LACUS SERVILIUS
a fountain in the forum, at the end of the vicus Iugarius
and near the basilica Iulia (Fest. 290). The heads of the senators who
were murdered in Sulla's proscription were fastened above and around
this lacus (Cic. pro Rosc. Am. 89 ; Sen. de prov. iii. 7 ; Firm. Mat. astron.
i. 7. 34). A structure in Anio tufa, destroyed by the restoration of the
temple of Saturn in 42 B.C. ha. recently been identified with it (CR 1902,
94; JRS 1922 25-26; TF 75).

ROSTRA AUGUSTI
(search)
ROSTRA AUGUSTI
the rostra of the imperial period, situated at the north-
west end of the forum. Caesar had decided on their removal, but his
definite plan seems not to have been carried out, or at least the dedication
not to have taken place until after 42 B.C. (Cass. Dio xliii. 49; cf. Diod.
xii. 26; Ascon. ad Mil. 12). p. 37, § 3, of Kiessling and Scholl's edition.
If we consider the point at which Caesar's
body was burnt, it will seem natural that Mark Antony's oration should
have been delivered at the opposite end of the forum (cf. Senec. Dial.
iii. I. 3: a rostris usque ad arcum Fabianum to express the whole length
of the forum). Augustus completed them (Pomponius, Dig. i. 2. 2)
and he is represented seated on the rostra in a coin (Cohen, Aug. 529
=BM. Aug. 115=HC p. 75, fig. 32). A funeral oration in honour of
Augustus was delivered from this rostra by Drusus (Suet. Aug. 100,
where it is called vetera in contradistinction to the Rostra aedis divi lulii).
