DIVORUM, AEDES
a temple of the Divi, that is, the deified emperors, on
the Palatine, mentioned three times in inscriptions of the Arvales as a
place of assembling (
CIL vi. 32379, 145 A.D.; 2087; 2104, 218 A.D.;
DE i. 177), and probably referred to by Cassius Dio (lxxvi. 3:
θεωρίαις
τοῖς ἐϝ τῶ Παλατίῳ ἥρωσι πεποιημέναις( 203 A.D.). This seems to have
been a new temple, which served for the collective worship of the divi
Augusti, after the observance of their separate cults began to fall into
disuse (HJ 81-82; WR 347; cf.
Gilb. iii. 131-133).
