CONSUS—CRYPTA BALBI 141
discovered in 1825, may have enclosed the ara Consi, see BC 1908, 250-252 ;
Mel. 1908, 279).
Consus, aedes : a temple of Consus on the Aventine (Fast. Vail, ad xn Kai.
Sept. ; Amit. ad prid. Id. Dec.), probably vowed or built by L. Papirius
Cursor in 272 b.c. on the occasion of his triumph. This may fairly be
inferred from the fact that Papirius was painted on the walls in the robes
of a triumphator1 (Fest. 209 : eius rei argumentum est. . . pictum in Aede
Vertumni (q.v.) et Consi quarum in altera M. Fulvius Flaccus, in altera
T. Papirius Cursor triumphantes ita picti sunt). In the Fasti Vallenses
(cf. CIL i2. p. 240) the day of dedication is given as 21st August ; in the
Fasti Amiternini (CIL i2. p. 245) as 12th December ; a discrepancy that
may perhaps be explained by supposing that the temple had been restored
by Augustus after 7 b.c. (CIL i2. p. 326 ; WR 167 ; Aust, de aed. sac.
14, 43). It is probable that this temple was near that of Vortumnus in
the Vicus Loreti Maioris (q.v.) on the north-west part of the Aventine
(HJ 163 ; Merlin 104, 228 ; RE iv. 1148 and literature cited).
Coraria Septimiana : mentioned in the Regionary Catalogue in Region
XIV, and probably the headquarters of the organised tanners of Rome
(cf. Iuv. xiv. 203). Three inscriptions (CIL vi. 1117, 1118, 1682) relating
to the corpus corariorum have been found in the neighbourhood of the
Ponte Rotto, and in 1899-90 the remains of a large tannery were found
beneath S. Cecilia (NS 1900, 12-14), with six vats like those at Pompeii
(Mau, Pompeii, 416 ; HJ 638 ; RE iv. 1227 ■ cf. Domus Caeciliorum).
Corneta : a place between the Sacra via and the Macellum, north of the
forum, where there had been a grove of cornel trees (Varro, LL v. 146,
152). According to the probable emendation of a passage in Placidus
(25, Deuerl.) this site was afterwards occupied by the temple of Peace
(HJ 1 ; RE iv. 1602 ; contrast JP 1872, 567).
Corniscae : a grove or shrine on the right bank of the Tiber, dedicated to
the Corniscae, the sacred crows in the service of Juno. Fest. 64 :
Corniscarum divarum locus (lucus, Dac.) erat trans Tiberim cornicibus
dicatus quod in Iunonis tutela esse putabantur ; CIL i2. 975 =vi. 96
( = 30691) : devas Corniscas sacrum on a terminal cippus found in
Trastevere. (Cf. i2. 976 = vi. 30858 : Coronicei T. Terentius donom mereto
dedet—Mitt. 1895, 63.) Nothing more is known of this cult centre
(HJ 626; RE iv. 1633; WR 189; Rosch. i. 930).
In Catull. 25. 5, it has been proposed to read cum Diva Mulier alites
(Ellis, aries, noting that the passage is corrupt) ostendit oscitantes, and
to refer it to this cult (Mnemos. 1909, 322)?
Crypta Balbi : mentioned only in the Notitia (Reg. I), but probably
built by Balbus in 15 b.c. at the same time as his theatre (q.v.). The
