MANSIONES SALIORUM PALATINORUM
(search)
MANSIONES SALIORUM PALATINORUM
apparently shrines in different
parts of the city at which the Salii halted in their annual procession,
known to us only from one inscription (CIL vi. 2158) on the marble facing
of the temple of Mars Ultor in the forum of Augustus, which records a
restoration of these mansiones in or after 382 A.D. (Jord. i. 2. 447; DS

mansiones was in this temple.

(Hieron. Epist.ad Salvin. vol. iv. p. 663, ed. Benedict.) Flaccilla had at least three children by Theodosius,--namely, Arcadius, born about A. D. 377, Honorius, born A. D. 384, both afterwards emperors; and Pulcheria, who was apparently born before 379, as Claudian (Laus Seren. 113, 136) intimates that Theodosius had more than one child when raised to the throne. This Pulcheria died before her mother, and Gregory Nyssen composed a consolatory discourse upon the occasion. Some have supposed th
