FORUM PISCARIUM

the fish-market north of the forum, between the Sacra via and the Argiletum. It was burned in 210 B.C. (Liv. xxvi. 27. 2) and rebuilt the next year. In 179 it was incorporated in the general Macellum, built by Fulvius Nobilior in the same region (Liv. xl. 51. 5; Varro, LLv. 146-7 ; cf. Hermes xv. I 19). This forum is called piscatorium in Livy, and piscarium in Varro and Plautus (Curc. 474).
