138 CONCORDIA, AEDICULA— CONCORDIA, AEDES, TEMPLUM
Fast. Ant. ap. NS 1921, 86, Concordiae in Capitolio ; Hermes 1875, 288;
Jord. i. 2. 112). It was probably on the east side of the arx, and over-
looked the great temple of Concord below.
Concordia, aedicula :* a bronze shrine of Concord erected by the aedile,
Cn. Flavius, in 304 b.c. in Graecostasi and in area Volcani. It stood
therefore on the Graecostasis (q.v.), close to the great temple of Concord,
and must have been destroyed when this temple was enlarged by Opimius
in 121 b.c. Flavius vowed this shrine in the hope of reconciling the
nobility who had been outraged by his publication of the calendar, but
as no money was voted by the senate, he was forced to construct the
building out of the fines of condemned usurers ‘ summa nobilium invidia ’
(Liv. ix. 46 ; Plin. NH xxxiii. 19 ; Jord. i. 2. 339).
Concordia, aedes : a temple said by Ovid to have been built by Livia
(Fast. vi. 637-638 : te quoque magnifica, Concordia, dedicat aede Livia
quam caro praestitit ipsa viro). The description of the Porticus
Liviae (q.v.) follows immediately, and it is probable therefore that the
temple was close to or within the porticus, but the small rectangular
structure marked on the Marble Plan (frg. 10) can hardly have been a
temple deserving of the epithet magnifica (HJ 316). There is no other
reference to the temple.
Concordia Nova : a temple voted by the senate in 44 b.c. in honour of
Caesar (Cass. Dio xliv. 4 : νέων τε 'Ομονοίας Καινής ως καϊ Si αυτού
ειρηνούντες οίκούομησαι εγνωσαν. It is not certain that it was ever built.
Concordia, aedes, templum (Act. Arv. lvi, Plin. NH xxxiv. 73, 80, 89, 90 ;
xxxvi. 196, Serv. Aen. ii. 116, Notitia), delubrum (Plin. xxxv. 66 ; xxxvii.
4) : a temple at the north-west corner of the forum, said to have been
vowed by L. Furius Camillus in 367 b.c. during the disturbances that
took place over the passage of the Licinian laws. Its erection was voted
by the people immediately after their enactment (Ov. Fast. i. 641-644;
Plut. Cam. 42). It stood between the Volcanal and the foot of the
Capitoline (Ov. cit. 637-638 ; Act. Arv. passim ; Serv. Aen. ii. 116 ; Stat.
Silv.i. 1.31; Plut. Cam. 42 ; Varro, LL v. 148, 156), and the space around
it was called area Concordiae, which is mentioned only in connection with
prodigia of 183 and 181 b.c. (Liv. xxxix. 56. 6 ; xl. 19. 2 ; Obseq. 4).
The date of the actual erection of the temple is not known ; the day of
its dedication was probably 22nd July (Fast. Ant. ap. NS 1921, 103),
while that of the later structure was 16th January (Ov. Fast. i. 637 ;
Fast. Praen. ad xvn Kai. Feb., CIL i2. p. 231, 308 ; Fast. Verol. ap. NS
1923, 196). In 211 b.c. a statue of Victory on its roof was struck down
by lightning (Liv. xxvi. 23. 4).
In 121 b.c., after the death of C. Gracchus, the senate ordered this
temple to be restored by L. Opimius, to the great disgust of the democracy
(App. BC i. 26 ; Plut. C. Gracch. 17 ; Cic. pro Sest. 140 ; August, de civ.
d. iii. 25). Opimius probably built his Basilica (q.v.) at the same
