BASILICA OPIMIA
(search)
BASILICA OPIMIA
erected probably by the consul L.
Opimius in 121 B.C.,
at the same time that he restored the temple of Concord.
The basilica
must have stood just north of the temple, between it and
the Tullianum
(Varro, LL v. 156), and it was probably removed when
Tiberius rebuilt
the temple, as it is not mentioned after that date (CIL vi.
2338, 2339;
DE i. 978; Thed. 145) The celeberrimum monumentum
Opimi of
Cicero (pro Sest. 140) refers probably to both temple and
basilica;
celeberrimum (' much frequented,' not 'magnificent') is
contrasted with
his lonely tomb on the shore at Dyrrachium (CP 1917,
194).

CONCORDIA, AEDICULA
(search)
CONCORDIA, AEDICULA
* a bronze shrine of Concord erected by the aedile,
Cn. Flavius, in 304 B.C. in Graecostasi and in area Volcani. It stood
therefore on the GRAECOSTASIS (q.v.), close to the great temple of Concord,
and must have been destroyed when this temple was enlarged by Opimius
in 121 B.C. Flavius vowed this shrine in the hope of reconciling the
nobility who had been outraged by his publication of the calendar, but
as no money was voted by the senate, he was forced to construct the
building out of the fines of condemned usurers ' summa nobilium invidia'
(Liv. ix. 46; Plin. NH xxxiii. 19; Jord. i. 2. 339).

M. FULVIUS FLACCUS, DOMUS
(search)
M. FULVIUS FLACCUS, DOMUS
near the north corner of the Palatine, destroyed
after the murder of its owner in 121 B.C. The house of Catulus was
erected on its site (Cic. de domo 102, 114 ; Val. Max. vi. 3. I c).

FORNIX FABIANUS
(search)
FORNIX FABIANUS
FORNIX FABIORUM
an honorary arch erected on or over the
Sacra via at the east end of the forum by Q. Fabius Allobrogicus in
121 B.C. to commemorate his victory over the Allobroges (fornix: Cic. pro
Plane. 17; de or. ii. 267; in Verr. i. 19; Schol. pp. 133, 393, 396;
Orell.; arcus: Sen. dial. ii. I. 3; Schol. Pers. iv. 49; vit. Salonini I).
This was the first arch of the kind in or near the forum, and was restored
by the grandson of the builder in 56 B.C. (CIL i². 762=vi. 1303). Among
the fragments discovered in 1540-46 (LS ii. 196), in 1882 (NS 1882, 222-6),
and later, are the nine travertine voussoirs and the archivolt, which
have hitherto been attributed to it. These really belong to the portico of the DOMUS AUREA (p. 168).
It was therefore believed that the
arch was single, 3.945 metres in diameter, and built of tufa and peperino
with travertine facings (PAS ii. 28). Three inscriptions were also found
(CIL i². p. 198 and p. 542, No. 763 =vi. 1304ab ; DE i. 649)
