IUNO REGINA, AEDES
(templum,
Liv. xl. 52):
a temple near the circus
Flaminius, vowed by the consul M. Aemilius Lepidus in 187 B.C., in his
last battle with the Ligures (
Liv. xxxix. 2. I), and dedicated by Aemilius
while censor in 179 (
Liv. xl. 52. I) on 23rd December (Fast. Ant. ap.
NS
1921, 121). A porticus connected this temple with one of Fortuna
(Obseq. 16), perhaps that of
FORTUNA EQUESTRIS (q.v.). A probable
site for the temple of Juno is just south of the porticus Pompeiana at the
west end of the circus Flaminius (
AR 1909, 76; HJ 487;
Gilb. iii. 81-82;
Rosch. ii. 601; for identification with one of the two temples of
S. Nicola ai Cesarini, see
BC 1918, 135-136).
