CLEMENTIA—CLIVUS ARGENTARIUS

this temple and the buildings of the aqueduct, but they contain no indica-
tion of a porticus (Mitt. 1903, 20). Nevertheless, it is probable that the
porticus Claudia surrounded the temple.
The last mention of the temple is in the fourth century (Not. Reg. II),
though a bull of Honorius III of 1217 speaks of the formae et alia aedificia
positae intra clausuram Clodei. Nothing is known of the history of its
destruction. It was (if the combination suggested above of the frag-
ments of the forma Urbis is correct) prostyle hexastyle, fronting towards
the north, and stood on a lofty and extensive podium, some of the sub-
structures of which have been excavated and are now visible (LS i. 71 ;
iii. 76; Ann. d. Inst. 1882, 205; NS 1880, 463; 1909, 427). These
substructures are different on the different sides of the podium, those on
the west consisting of double rows of travertine arches with engaged
columns and entablature ; those on the north containing what seem to
be reservoirs for water ; and those on the east consisting of alternately
square and semicircular recesses which are separated from the podium
by narrow passages. These passages are, probably, simply air spaces.
The recesses are divided from one another by narrow semicircular niches
in groups of three. This difference in style and construction is probably
due to the combination of temple and nymphaeum which wTas the result
of Vespasian’s restoration (HJ 232-234 ; Gilb. iii. 124 ; LA 371 ; ZA
144 sqq. ; Rivoira, RA 68, 73, who assigns the brick facing of the concrete
substructures on the east to Nero—they are not represented on the
Marble Plan, where the rectangular spaces round the temple are garden
beds—and the travertine arches on the west to the original construction).
Clementia, ara : an altar erected in 28 a.d. by the senate to the dementia
of Tiberius (Tac. Ann. iv. 74 ; cf. Amicitia, ara), of which nothing more
is known (RE iv. 20 ; WR 335).
Clementia Caesaris, aedes :* a temple erected in 44 b.c. to Clementia
and Caesar, in which the two were represented holding each other by the
right hand (Cass. Dio. xliv. 6 : ναόν αυτω τρ 'Έπιεικεία αύτοΰ; Αρρ.
BC Η. Ιθ6 : κοινον [ναόν) αύτου και Έπίείκε/ας αλλήλους όεζιονμενων ;
Plut. Caes. 57 : ’Επιείκειας ιερόν). This temple is probably represented
on a coin of Sepullius Macer as tetrastyle (Cohen, Caes. 44 = Babeion ii. 29,
No. 52-BM Rep. i. 549. 4176, 4177; cf. RE iv. 20 ; WR 278). Its site
is not known.

Flaminia which can be described as being up- and downhill is close to
Castelnuovo di Porto (JRS 1921, 151-154).
