FORNIX FABIANUS

FORNIX FABIANUS
FORNIX FABIORUM
an honorary arch erected on or over the
Sacra via at the east end of the forum by Q. Fabius Allobrogicus in
121 B.C. to commemorate his victory over the Allobroges (fornix: Cic. pro
Plane. 17; de or. ii. 267; in Verr. i. 19; Schol. pp. 133, 393, 396;
Orell.; arcus: Sen. dial. ii. I. 3; Schol. Pers. iv. 49; vit. Salonini I).
This was the first arch of the kind in or near the forum, and was restored
by the grandson of the builder in 56 B.C. (CIL i². 762=vi. 1303). Among
the fragments discovered in 1540-46 (LS ii. 196), in 1882 (NS 1882, 222-6),
and later, are the nine travertine voussoirs and the archivolt, which
have hitherto been attributed to it. These really belong to the portico of the DOMUS AUREA (p. 168).
It was therefore believed that the
arch was single, 3.945 metres in diameter, and built of tufa and peperino
with travertine facings (PAS ii. 28). Three inscriptions were also found
(CIL i². p. 198 and p. 542, No. 763 =vi. 1304ab ; DE i. 649
