ATRIUM REGIUM
(search)
ATRIUM REGIUM
found only in Livy (xxvi. 27; xxvii. 11 , referring to
the fire of 210 B.C.), and used apparently of the ATRIUM VESTAE (q.v.).
The origin of this name may be due to the confusion between Atrium
Vestae and REGIA (q.v.; Van Deman, Atrium Vestae 10).

FORUM PISCARIUM
(search)
FORUM PISCARIUM
the fish-market north of the forum, between the
Sacra via and the Argiletum. It was burned in 210 B.C. (Liv. xxvi. 27. 2)
and rebuilt the next year. In 179 it was incorporated in the general
Macellum, built by Fulvius Nobilior in the same region (Liv. xl. 51. 5;
Varro, LLv. 146-7 ; cf. Hermes xv. I 19). This forum is called piscatorium
in Livy, and piscarium in Varro and Plautus (Curc. 474).
MACELLUM
the first of the three macella known to us in Rome, situated
just north of the forum. We are told that this market was burned in
210 B.C. (Liv. xxvii. II) and rebuilt, but in 179 B.C. M. Fulvius Nobilior
seems to have erected a new structure on the north-east side of the basilica
Aemilia (which was built by himself and his colleague in the censorship),
which absorbed the forum piscarium, the forum cuppedinis, and other
special markets that occupied this site (Varro, LL v. 146-147 ; Fest. 238;
Liv. xl. 51). It probably consisted of a central building, which in Varro's
time was a tholos in shape, surrounded with shops (Liv. loc. cit.; Varro
ap. Non. 448; Altm. 73, 74). The name, like the Greek JadeXXov (Varro,
LL. v. 146), is thought to be Semitic in origin (Walde, s.v.), but was
variously explained by the Romans (Varro, loc. cit.; Fest. 125; Donat.
ad Ter. Eun. 256). The entrance to the market-house was called fauces
macelli (Cic. Verr. iii. 145; pro Quinct. 25), and a shor
