CURIAE NOVAE
the new sanctuary of the curies mentioned only by
Festus (174), who says that it was built
proxime COMPITUM FABRICIUM
(q.v.) because the curiae veteres had become too small, but that seven
curies refused to move. The new building probably stood east of the
veteres, on the Caelian, near the vicus Fabricii (Jord. i. I. 191 ; HJ 201 ;
Gilb. i. 196-9; 208-11;
ii. 126-7).
