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. ad nat. ii. 9 ; RE iii. 1598; Rosch. i. 854; WR 236 ; Gilb. ii. 19-22).
