This appendix provides further information about some of the manubial and triumphal monuments referred to in Chapter 2. It is not intended to describe every monument built during the era of the Punic Wars but rather to present as concisely as possible the arguments for the identification and dating of those monuments that form the most significant bases for my arguments in Chapter 2. The appendix is organized geographically, moving from the Campus Martius and the Circus Flaminius to the Forum Holitorium and area of the Forum Boarium. This organization hopefully gives a better sense of how these nodes of the route accumulated triumphal monuments.

CAMPUS MARTIUS

As discussed in Chapter 1, the topography of many areas of the Campus Martius remains murky, but triumphal processions likely mustered somewhere within it, if not in the Circus Flaminius proper. In the second century B.C., several generals built manubial temples in the Campus Martius that boasted noteworthy architectural features.

In 190 B.C., the praetor L. Aemilius Regillus vowed a temple to the Lares Permarini at the Battle of Myonnesos, although the temple was not dedicated until 179 B.C., by M. Aemilius Lepidus. Livy places the temple in Campo, while the Fasti Praenestini locate it in port[icu Mi]nucia. The temple's location thus depends upon that of the Porticus Minucia. The Regionary Catalogues, however, list two porticoes named Minucia in the region of the Circus Flaminius, one designated vetus and the other frumentaria. Velleius Paterculus describes the original portico built by Minucius Rufus at the end of the second century B.C. without any qualifying adjective, so scholars generally agree that at Velleius's time, there was still only one porticus Minucia, which presumably came to be called vetus only after a later portico was built to house Rome's frumentationes.

It is this original Porticus Minucia, later called vetus, that would have enclosed the Temple of the Lares Permarini. Several fragments of the Marble Plan depict a Porticus Minucia surrounding a temple, which corresponds to the temple visible today in the Via delle Botteghe Oscure (Figure 2.10; Plate 5). While Filippo Coarelli and others have argued that the portico on the Marble Plan should be the frumentaria, excavations in the area of the Via delle Botteghe Oscure have revealed a chronology for the temple and its surrounds that accords well with the Porticus Minucia Vetus.
