IUPPITER VICTOR
(search)
IUPPITER VICTOR
In the battle of Sentinum, 295 B.C., the dictator,
Q. Fabius Maximus Rullianus, vowed a temple (aedes) to Iuppiter Victor,
to whom he afterwards offered the spoils collected from the Samnites in
sacrifice (Liv. x. 29. 14, 18). Livy's statement (x. 42. 7) that in 293
L. Papirius, at the battle of Aquilonia, vowed a cup of new wine to
luppiter Victor, is sometimes interpreted as meaning that Fabius' temple
had been dedicated by that time, but this is quite hypothetical. According to Ovid (Fast. iv. 621) and Fast. Ant. ap. NS 1921, 92, the day of
dedication of the temple (templa) was the Ides of April. Josephus states
(Ant. Iud. xix. 4. 3) that after the murder of Caligula in 41 A.D. the consuls
summoned the senate ei)s to\ i(ero\n tou= nikhfo/rou *dio/s; and Cassius Dio
(Ix. 35) mentions among the prodigies of 54 A.D. 17 h( au)to/matos tou= naou= tou= *dio\s tou= *nikai/ou a)/noicis. These all seem to refer to the same temple,
presumably the same aedes Iovis Victoris

VATICANUS AGER

VATICANUS AGER
(1) VATICANUS AGER
the district on the right bank of the
Tiber, between its lower reaches and the more restricted Veientine
territory (Plin. NH iii. 53: Tiberis . . citra xvi milia passuum urbis
Veientem agrum a Crustumino, dein Fidenatem Latinumque a Vaticano
Dirimens; Liv. x. 26. 15 (295 B.C.): alii duo exercitus baud procul
urbe Etruriae oppositi unus in Falisco, alter in Vaticano agro). Its
fertility is spoken of slightingly by Cicero (de leg. agr. ii. 96), its wines
are frequently derided by Martial (i. 18. 2; vi. 92. 3; x. 45. 5; xii.
48. 14), and references to farms or estates are very few (Gell. xix. 17. I:in agro Vaticano Iulius Paulus poeta. .. herediolum tenue possidebat;
Symm. Ep. vi. 58. I: rus Vaticanum quod vestro praedio cohaeret
Accessimus; vii. 21: urbanas turbas Vaticano in quantum licet rure
Declino). This name continued long in use, for it occurs in Solinus
(ii. 34: Claudio principe ubi Vaticanus ager est in alveo occisae boae
spectatus est so

VENUS OBSEQUENS, AEDES
(search)
VENUS OBSEQUENS, AEDES
a temple built by Q. Fabius Maximus Gurges,
out of fines imposed on women convicted of adultery. It was begun in
295 B.C., and dedicated after the close of the third Samnite war (Liv.
x. 31. 9; Serv. Aen. i. 720: dicitur etiam Obsequens Venus quam Fabius
Gurges post peractum bellum Samniticum hoc nomine consecravit, quod
sibi fuerit obsecuta). It was ad circum Maximum (Fast. Vail. ad xIv Kal.
Sept., CIL i'. p. 240, 325; Ant. ap. NS 1921, 108; Liv. loc. cit.; xxix. 37.
2; xli. 27. 8 (?) ; Fest. 265), that is probably near the south-east end of
the circus on the Aventine side, near the shrine of Murcia. The day of
dedication was 19th August, the Vinalia rustica (Fast. Vail. loc. cit.;
Fest. 265). It is mentioned in the third century (Tert. de spect. 8;
HJ 114; WR 289; Pr. Myth. i. 446).
