VICUS CAPRARIUS

a street mentioned only in a bull of Paschal II of 1104 A.D. (Quellen u. Forschungen xiv. (1911) 33: vicus Caprarius in regione quinta), and undoubtedly identical with the viculus Capralicus which occurs in the false bull of John III (Jord. ii. 669-670) of the end of the twelfth century. This street seems to have run south from the aqua Virgo and campus Agrippae, and pavement ¹ found in the line of the via Lucchesi is thought to have belonged to it (LF 22, 16, where the name is erroneously given as vicus Capralicus; HJ 459-460; cf. Kehr, Italia Pontificia i. 71, 73, for references to S. Marcello in via Lata, where, however, there is no actual citation of the vicus).

1 Some pavement found at the corner of the Via delle Vergini and the Via dell' Umilta may perhaps also be attributed to it; and it is possible that remains of the AEDICULA CAPRARIA (q.v.) were also discovered (BC 1925, 272, 273).
