AREA CARRUCES—AREA SATURNI
being ordinarily fastened to the walls of the area and of the temples, and
to the bases of the statues and monuments (cf. BC 1896, 187-189 ; Jord.
i. 2. 52-56 ; CIL iii. Suppl. p. 2034 ; for the area Capitolina in general,

Area Carruces : mentioned only in the Regionary Catalogue in Region I.
This was probably the square in which travellers were accustomed to leave
their carriages (Galen, 7repl φλεβοτομίας 17), and connected with the
schola carrucarum (better carruc ar iorum), or headquarters of those
engaged in the business of transportation (CIL iii. p. 1938 ; DE ii. 120 ;
BC 1912, 204-222; HJ 205; Pr. Reg. 116), which was situated
between the porta Appia and the temple of Mars (BC 1916, 198-199).
See Mutatorium Caesaris.
Area Concordiae : see Concordia, aedes.
Area Carboniana : somewhere on the Caelian, and known only from one
source in early Christian literature—Acta S. Eusebii ap. Baron. Ann.
Eccl. ad a. 259, 12.
Area Macari : in Region \T, known only from the inscription on a lead
disk (CIL xv. 7174).
Area Palatina : an open space on the Palatine, mentioned by Gellius
(xx. 1. 1 : in area Palatina cum salutationem Caesaris opperiemur ;
cf. iv. 1. I : in vestibulo aedium Palatinarum omnium fere ordinum
multitudo opperientes salutationem Caesaris constiterant), and in the
Notitia (Reg. X, om. Cur.), and probably to be identified with the
ευρυγωρία of Josephus (Ant. Iud. xix. 3. 2 (223) : A τρ ευρυχωρία όε του
ΙΙαλατιΟΜ . . . πρώτον όε οίκηθηναι της 'Ρωμαίων πόλεως τούτο παραόίόωσιν
ό περ'ι αύτης λόγος), through which the praetorians carried Claudius to their
barracks. The evidence points to a site between the domus Flavia
and the domus Tiberiana, at the top of the street leading up to the
Palatine from the porta Mugonia, now called the clivus Palatinus.
How early the term, area Palatina, came into use, and what were the
variations in its extent, it is not possible to determine (HJ 66 ; Mitt.
1890, 77; 1896, 204; BC 1910, 9-11).
Area Pannaria :* mentioned only in the Regionary Catalogue in Region I,
with no indication of even its approximate location.
Area Radicaria : mentioned in the Regionary Catalogue in Region XII,
and marked on a fragment (3) of the Marble Plan. It appears to have
been at the north-west corner of the baths of Caracalla (HJ 189).
Area Saturni : the open space adjoining the temple of Saturn in the
forum. The name occurs only in inscriptions (CIL i2. 8i0 = xiv. 153 ;
vi. 1265 ; viii. 9249), and it is not certain whether the area was in
