DIANA, SACELLUM
(search)
DIANA, SACELLUM
a shrine of Diana on the Caeliolus, called by Cicero
(de har. resp. 32) maximum et sanctissimum. It was destroyed by L.
Calpurnius Piso when consul in 58 B.C. It was probably dedicated
originally by some private person or family (cf. Cie. loc. cit.). Its exact
site is not known (RE v. 332 ; Gilb. ii. 25).

M. AEMILIUS SAURUS, DOMUS
(search)
M. AEMILIUS SAURUS, DOMUS
on a cross street between the Sacra via and the
Nova via, perhaps that at the east end of the Atrium Vestae. The
house of Cn. Octavius was removed by Scaurus to provide room for the
enlargement of his own (Cic. de off. i. 138). This was decorated with
four columns of Hymettian marble, brought to Rome by Scaurus in
his aedileship in 58 B.C. for the adornment of a temporary theatre
(Plin. NH xvii. 5-6; xxxvi. 6). These were afterwards removed to
the theatre of Marcellus, where they stood in 42 A.D. The house belonged
then to Caecina Largus (as well as that of Crassus, so that they must
have been close together).

TRIBUNAL AURELIUM
(search)
TRIBUNAL AURELIUM
a tribunal, or platform, evidently named after some
Aurelius, in the forum, which is mentioned four times by Cicero in
connection with a levy of slaves in 58 B.C. (pro Sest. 34, in Pis. 11: pro
tribunali Aurelii; de domo 54, post red. ad Quir. 13: in tribunali
Aurelii).
In two other passages Cicero speaks of gradus Aurelii, once in connection with the trial of C. Iunius in 74 B.C. (pro Clu. 93: gradus illi
Aurelii tur novi quasi pro theatro illi iudicio aedificati videbantur;
quos ubi accusator concitatis hominibus complerat, non modo dicendi
ab reo, sed ne surgendi quidem potestas erat), and again in 59 B.C. (pro
Flacc. 66: hoc nimirum est illud quod non longe a gradibus Aurelii
haec causa dicitur). These gradus, being new (novi), were probably
built by M. Aurelius Cotta, consul in that year (74), and as they were
occupied by those in attendance upon the jury trials, gradus and tribunal
probably belonged together. Either the terms were used without
distinct
