CURIA ACCULEIA—CURIA HOSTILIA
name is best explained as a term used for a vaulted passage lighted
from above (RE iv. 1732), and this building may have been a sort of
ambulatory round the cavea of the theatre. No traces of it have been
found, and the remains in the Via dei Calderari, formerly identified as
the Crypta Balbi, belong to another structure (cf. Porticus Minucia ;
HJ 521, 545 1 Jord· ϋ· 534 ; Gilb. iii. 329).
Curia Acculeia : mentioned once by Varro (LL. vi. 23) as the place where
the Angeronalia were celebrated. As this festival is also said to have
been celebrated at the sacellum Volupiae (Macrob. Sat. i. 10. 7 ; Hemerol.
Praenest. ad xn Kai. Ian.), curia Acculeia was probably either another
name for the sacellum, or an adjacent structure, standing near the point
where the Nova via entered the Velabrum (HJ 45 ; RE iv. 1821 ; Gilb.
i. 56-58 ; ii. 104-107).
Curia Athletarum : the headquarters, under the empire, of the organised
athletes of Rome. The name, curia athletarum (acletarum) appears in
one Latin inscription (CIL vi. 10154 ; 10153 refers to it) ; on numerous
Greek inscriptions it appears as ξυστική σύνοδος των . . . αθλητών (IG xiv.
1054, 1055, 1102-1110). These inscriptions were found between S.
Pietro in Vincoli and S. Martino, indicating that the building was in
the immediate vicinity of the thermae Traianae, and an attempt has
been made to identify it with a basilica-shaped hall just north of the
thermae (BC 1891, 185-209). This curia was given to the association
in 143 a.d. by the Emperor Antoninus Pius (HJ 314).
Curia Calabra : a hall of assembly on the Capitoline hill, where, before
the publication of the calendar, on the Kalends of each month the
pontifex minor made a public announcement of the day on which the
Nones would fall (Varro, LL vi. 27 ; Serv. Aen. viii. 654 ; Macrob. Sat.
i. 15. 10 ; Hemerol. Praen. ad kal. Ian. ; CIL i2. p. 231). The name was
derived from calare (locc. citt. ; Varro, LL v. 13), both because the pontifex
called the people together (comitia calata), and because he called out the
day of the Nones. As curia was regularly used in early times for halls
where the representatives of the curiae, or the senate, assembled, it
seems probable that originally this curia bore the same relation to the
senate and comitia Calata that the curia Hostilia did to the senate and
comitia Curiata (Mommsen, Staatsrecht iii. 868, 914, 927 ; cf. Liv.
xli. 27. 7). Festus (49) says that in the curia Calabra tantum ratio
sacrorum gerebatur, and Macrobius (Sat. i. 15. 19) that the pontifex
minor sacrificed here to Juno on the Kalends of each month. It was
near the casa Romuli (Macrob. Sat. i. 15. 10), and appears in Lydus
(Mens. iii. io) as Κ«λα/3ρά βασιλική (Jord. i. 2. 51 ; RE iv. 1821 ;
Thes. Ling. Lat. s.v. Calabra).
Curia Hostilia : the original senate house of Rome, situated on the north
side of the Comitium (q.v.) ; cf. Liv. xlv. 24. 12 : comitium vestibulum
curiae. Its construction was ascribed to Tullus Hostilius (Varro, LL
