FAUSTINAE AEDICULA
the name frequently, but without sufficient reason,
given to a small shrine, of which the remains are visible between the
temples of Vespasian and Concord at the foot of the Capitoline. It was
built at the same time as the temple of VESPASIAN (q.v.), for its left wall
rests on the foundations of the temple, which were made to project
for that purpose. The building was 4.01 metres wide and 2.50 deep,
and the marks of its vaulted roof are visible on the front wall of the
Tabularium. The purpose of the structure is unknown, but in it was found
a marble base dedicated to Faustina by the viatores quaestorii ab aerario
Saturni, who may have used it for a schola (
Mitt. 1893, 284-285; Th6d.
160, 362; HC 93; DR 203-205).
