Q. LUTATIUS CATULUS, DOMUS
(search)
Q. LUTATIUS CATULUS, DOMUS
an unusually magnificent house (Plin. NH xvii. 2）
built by Catulus after his victory over the Cimbri, on the Palatine hill,
near his porticus (q.v.). It was on the site of the earlier house of
Fulvius Flaccus, and was incorporated by Augustus in his house
about 20 B.C. (Suet. de Gramm. 17; Varro, RR iii. 5. 12 ; Cie. de domo
102, 114; Val. Max. vi. 3. ; JRS 1914, 211-213; HJ 57; but cf.

MARS ULTOR, TEMPLUM
（vew/s):
a temple erected by Augustus on the
Capitol, and dedicated 12th May, 20 B.C., as a repository for the Roman
standards that had been recovered from the Parthians (Cass. Dio liv. 8:kai\ new\n )/*areos timwrou=- e)n tw=| *kapitwli/w| kata\ to\ tou= *dio\s tou= feretri/ou zh/lwma (that is, for the same use, cf. aedes Iovis Feretri)pro\s th\n tw=n shmei/wn a)na/qesin; Ov. Fast. v. 579-580). The statement in the
Monumentum Ancyranum (v. 42: ea autem signa in penetrali quod est
in templo Martis Ultoris reposui) is generally taken to refer to the temple
in the forum of Augustus (see p. 220), and, if so, the standards must have
been kept in this temple on the Capitol until the dedication of the other
in 2 B.C. (CIL i². p. 318). The temple is represented on coins of Augustus
(Cohen, Aug. 189-205; 278-282; BM. Rep. ii. 27 sqq., 4406- 11, 4417-27;
426. 155; 551. 311=Aug. 315, 366-375, 384-389, 704) as a circular
domed structure on a high podium with four or six

MILLIARIUM AUREUM
(search)
MILLIARIUM AUREUM
a column covered with gilt bronze, erected by
Augustus in 20 B.C., when he assumed the cura viarum about Rome
(Cass. Dio liv. 8). It was regarded as the point of convergence of all the
great roads running out of the city (Plut. Galba 24), and on it were
engraved the names of the principal cities of the empire and their distances
from Rome, although these distances were reckoned from the gates in the
Servian wall, not from the milliarium itself (Plin. NH iii. 66). This
stood in capite romani fori (Plin. loc. cit.) and sub aede Saturni (Tac. Hist.
i. 27; Suet. Otho 6), probably between the rostra and the temple of
Saturn, but no trace of its foundations has been found (Richter, BRT
ii. 12-13; HC 81; De Rossi, Piante icnografiche 31-32; Jord. i. 2. 245,
314). Of the monument itself two possible fragments have been found,
one a part of the marble shaft, 1.42 metres long and 1.17 in diameter,
with two sides left rough and traces of bronze facing (Bull. d. Inst. 183
