MAGNA MATER, AEDES
* (templum, Cic., Ov., Val. Max., Auct. de vir. ill.):
the famous temple on the Palatine erected after 204 B.C. when the Roman
embassy brought from Pessinus the pointed black stone (acus) which
represented the goddess (Liv. xxix. 37. 2; xxxvi. 36; de vir; ill. 46. 3;
Prudent. Mart. Rom. 206; Serv. ad Aen. vii. 188). It was dedicated on
11th April, 191 B.C., by the praetor M. Junius Brutus, on which occasion
the ludi Megalenses were instituted (Liv. loc. cit.; Fast. Praen. ap.
CIL i". p. 235, 314-315, cf. p. 251=vi. 32498; Fast. Ant. ap. NS 1921,
91) and celebrated in front of the temple (Cic. de har. resp. 24; cf. for site
Ov. Fast. ii. 55; Mart. vii. 73. 3). It was burned in 111 B.C., when the statue
of Quinta Cloelia within it was uninjured, restored by a Metellus, probably
the consul of 110 B.C., burned again and restored by Augustus in 3 A.D.
(Val. Max. i. 8. II; Obseq. 99; Ov. Fast. iv. 347-348; Mon. Anc. iv. 8),

(templum, Plin.) :
a temple in the forum Holitorium, vowed
by M'. Acilius Glabrio in the battle of Thermopylae in 191 B.C., and begun
by him, but dedicated in 181 by his son of the same name, who was
appointed duumvir for the purpose (Liv. xl. 34. 4; Val. Max. ii. 5. I;
cf. Cic. de leg. ii. 28). Mancini conjectures that a fragmentary entry:
.. .]tati in Fast. Ant. (ap. NS 1921, 117), under 13th November, should be
referred to this temple. It contained a gilded statue of the elder Glabrio,
the first of its kind in Rome (locc. citt.). This temple stood at the east
end of the area afterwards occupied by the theatre of Marcellus, and was
destroyed by Caesar in 44 B.C. when he began preparations for the erection
of that building (Plin. NH vii. 12, who is mistaken in his date of the building of the temple; Cass. Dio xliii. 49. 3 ; cf. Delbrueck, Die Drei Tempel
am Forum Holitorium in Rom, Rome 1903, 6, for an erroneous theory). Cf., however, Hellenistische Bauten ii. 43, w
