DEA CARNA, SACRUM
(templum, Macrob.):
a temple of Dea Carna (
quae
vitalibus, i.e. humanis, praeest) said to have been vowed by L. Junius
Brutus on 1st June in the first year of the republic, and dedicated by
him some time afterwards (Macrob.
Sat. i. 12. 31-32). It was on the
Caelian, and seems to have been standing in the third century (Tert.

Rosch. i. 854; WR 236 ;
Gilb. ii. 19-22).
