CATILINE, DOMUS
the only authority for the existence of a house of Catiline
on the Palatine is a passage in Suet. de Gramm. 17;
M. Verrius Flaeeus
transiit in Palatium eum tota schola docuitque in atrio Catulinae domus,
quae pars Palatii tunc (before B.C. 4) erat. This passage is often (e.g.
in Thes. Ling. Lat. Onomasticon, ii. 277. 35) referred to the house of
Catulus (see the next article) ; but it may be argued that the adjeetive
of Catulus is Catulianus (Plin.
NH xxxiv. 77) just as Catullianus is the
adjeetive of Catullus; whereas Catulina is admissible as a form of
Catilina. We know nothing of its site; LR I 9 places it ' on the edge
of the hill facing the Circus Maximus '; Boni preferred to identify it
with the house whieh he diseovered under the so-ealled lararium of
the Flavian palaee (
JRS 1913, 248; ef.
DOMUS AUGUSTIANA, p. 161).
