Additions and Corrections The list of additions and corrections below may serve as an errata slip for the 2002 edition of Mapping Augustan Rome. Should readers uncover additional items in need of attention, we would be grateful for the information. Please email the authors at: rome@sas.upenn.edu . Four contour lines on the 1:6000 map are mislabeled. On the Collis Quirinalis, between the Vicus Longus and Alta Semita, the contour line marked 30 should be 35, and those to the N should be 40, 45 and 50 rather than 35, 40 and 45, respectively. Central Area Map, scale
1:3000 The unlabeled grey rectangle on the Velia located S of map
index 237 and N of map index 240 is an erroneous insertion and should be
deleted. Introduction,
add to p.9 n.1 An additional precursor to our study is D. Palombi’s focused commentary on Horace’s Rome in the Enciclopedia Oraziana (Rome 1996, I.533-53) which is illustrated by a city map at the approximate scale of 1:11,000. Detailed on the map are Augustan-era monuments and select earlier structures mentioned by Horace. [Reference courtesy of P.L. Tucci; full citation provided below.] Urbs Roma Bibliography, add to p.27 Campus Esquilinus,
correct on p.73 One, generally known as the [delete: ‘Tomb of Fannius’
or] ‘Tomb of Fabius’ includes a battle fresco…. Curia Pompei/Pompeiana,
replaces the entry on p.99 The senate-house built by Cn. Pompeius Magnus at the same time as the *Theatrum Pompeium in 55 B.C. stood as an exedra at the E end of the *Porticus Pompei (also s.v. *Dona Pompei; for the name: Suet., Iul. 80.4: in Pompei curiam, 81.3: Pompeianae curiae; further, Gell., NA 14.7.7: in Pompeia [sc. curia]). In 44 B.C. Julius Caesar was assassinated here, and the Curia Pompei was burned by mourners at his funeral (App., B Civ. 2.147). In 42 B.C. it was walled up by the triumvirs and left as a memorial to Caesar’s death (Dio Cass. 47.19.1; Suet., Iul. 88; cf. Suet., Aug. 31.5). It has been identified with the tufa remains in opus quadratum (c.20 x 24 m) behind the Temple of *Fortuna Huiusce Diei in the *“Area Sacra” in Largo Argentina. In the Augustan period, the Curia Pompei no longer functioned as a senate-house, but the building remained as a charred, walled-up memorial. The present map uses the plan by Marchetti-Longhi. A.G.T.

mentions cult statues of Neptune, Thetis, Achilles, and the Nereids, all by
Scopas, [delete: which must have been placed on top of the famous Altar of
Domitius Ahenobarbus belonging to the temple (Coarelli 1997, 418-46)] [add: a
second-century Greek artist working in Rome.
The so-called Altar of Domitius Ahenobarbus, in actuality a large base
for statuary honoring its donor Marcus Antonius, was erected in the vicinity of
the temple sometime in the early 1st-century B.C. (Kuttner; Holliday).] A large public recreational
complex surrounded by a quadriportico, dedicated in 7 B.C. (Dio. Cass. 55.8.2 [not Dion.
Hal.]), and built on the site of the house of Vedius Pollio, bequeathed to
Augustus in 15 B.C.
(Dio Cass. 54.23.6 [not Dion. Hal.]; …. … an Illyrian
army was stationed Vipsania in porticu in A.D. 69 [not 68]…. Neighborhood located within Regio IV, perhaps E of the *Forum Augusti (CIL VI 761: vici Sandaliari reg iiii; cf. Reg. Cats., Regio IV: Apollo Sandaliarius). Augustus favored the vicus with a costly statue of its titular deity, Apollo Sandaliarius (Suet., Aug. 57.1), which may have been displayed in the neighborhood’s compital shrine (Coarelli 189). Two inscriptions attest to the activities of its vicomagistri in the Augustan period: an altar was dedicated in 2 B.C. (CIL VI 448), as was a statue of Stata Fortuna in 12 B.C. (CIL VI 761). Neither inscription was recovered in situ, so they reveal little about the location of the vicus. Narrowing the location of the vicus within Regio IV is a matter of supposition. Richardson and Coarelli note that the neighborhood was renowned in post-Augustan times for its numerous booksellers (e.g., Gell. 18.4.1), and thus could be located in the vicinity of the *Argiletum, Templum Pacis, and Forum Transitorium (all home to booksellers: Martial 1.3.1-2, 1.2.8). Rose would have the vicus in the *Subura near the Forum Augusti based on the iconography of the 2 B.C. altar. Given the absence of a firm locale within Regio IV, the vicus cannot be represented on our map. E.A.D.
