CLIVUS CAPSARIUS—CLIVUS MARTIS
123
(see Sacra Via). Another piece of its pavement may be seen to the
south of the porticus Deorum Consentium (a good deal is hidden by the
modern road) and another to the south-west of the Tabularium (KH iv.).
No trace remains of the upper part of the clivus or of the branch that led
to the arx, which was at first the more important of the two. It is
probable that the clivus reached the substructures of the area Capitolina
on its north-east side, then turned at right angles, and with a rather
steep rise of perhaps 1:15 passed around the south corner of the area,
and entered it on the south-east side. The Porta Stercoraria (q.v.)
was probably not far above the temple of Saturn (Jord. i. 2. 62, 78,
120-121 ; Gilb. i. 3I3-3I5 ; ϋ· 3II-3U, 445'448 ; Hermes, 1883, 104-128,
616-619 ; 1884, 322-324 ; Richter, BRT i. 21-31 : Capitolium und
Clivus Capitolinus ; Pl. 294, 295 ; RE iii. 1530-1531 ; Rodocanachi,
Capitole 16 et passim; JRS 1922, 14-16; 1925, 121 ; CR 1899, 464;
TF 54-58).
Clivus Capsarius : a street on the Aventine known only from a fragment
of the Acta Arvalia of 240 a.d. (NS 1914, 473-474 ; DAP 2. xii. 37 : in
domu Fab. Fortunati promag. q.e. in clivo Capsar. in Aventino maiore).
The capsarii looked after the clothes of persons using the public baths
(CIL vi. 9232 : capsararius de Antonianas (thermas) ), and the clivus
may have received its name because the attendants of the clothes rooms
of the baths of Caracalla lived in it (cf. DE ii. 101).
Clivus Cosconius : a street of unknown location, built by a viocurus of
the same name (Varro, LL v. 158).
Clivus Delphini : a street mentioned only in the Regionary Catalogue
in Region XII. It was probably a little north of the thermae Antoni-
nianae, and possibly connected the via Nova with the via Ardeatina,
along the line of the modern Via di S. Balbina.
Clivus Mamuri : a street mentioned only in mediaeval documents (LP
xlii. 6 ; Acta S. Susan. 11 (yfcuw), Aug. p. 632 ; BC 1914, 373), which
probably took its name from the statua Mamuri (Not. Reg. VI). This,
the statue of Mamurius Veturius, the legendary maker of the ancilia
(Fest. 131 ; Ov. Fast. iii. 382-392 ; Plut. Numa 13 ; WR 147, 558), was
probably close to the temple of Quirinus and the Curia Saliorum (q.v.)
and the street may have run south-east from the Alta Semita (HJ 410 ;
Gilb. i. 295 ; iii. 370 ; RhM 1894, 405, 417).
Clivus Martis : the name given to that part of the via Appia, just before
it is crossed by the line of the later Aurelian wall, where it ascended to
the temple of Mars (q.v.). Cf. Fast. Ant. ap. NS 1921, 97, Marti in
Cl[ivo], 1st June. In process of time the grade of the road was removed
or at least very much diminished (CIL vi. 1270). In 296 b.c. the clivus
was paved (Liv. x. 23), and repaved in 189 b.c., when it was provided
with a porticus, and afterwards known as the Via Tecta (q.v.) (Liv.

(see Sacra Via). Another piece of its pavement may be seen to the
south of the porticus Deorum Consentium (a good deal is hidden by the
modern road) and another to the south-west of the Tabularium (KH iv.).
