DECEM TABERNAE—DIANA, AEDES 149
iurgii intercesserat in sacellum deae Viriplacae quod est in Palatio
veniebant).
Decem Tabernae : a locality, perhaps a street, in Region VI, mentioned
only in the Regionary Catalogue. The name is also said to have occurred
on an inscription that was to be seen in the sixteenth century (Albertini,
Mirabilia Urbis Romae, f. D iii. ed. 15IO ; f. 8, ed. 1523).1 It is marked
on Bufalini’s plan of the city, and was probably on the Viminal, near the
churches of S. Lorenzo in Panisperna and S. Agata dei Goti (HJ 374 ;
Mitt. 1892, 307 ; RhM 1894, 417 ; BC 1914, 367 ; Eranos, 1924, 88-90).
Decennenses : a name found on an inscription (CIL vi. 31893) of c. 370 a.d.,
applied to those who dwelt in the Decennium or Decenniae. This was
the swampy depression south-west of the Lateran, outside the Aurelian
wall, through which the Marrana2 flows. Decennium is a conjectural
form ; Decenniae appears in mediaeval documents (cf. Jord. ii. 318 ;
HJ 220 ; BC 1891, 343, 355-6 ; RE iv. 2267).
Dei Consentes : see Porticus Deorum Consentium.
Diaetae Mammaeae : apartments constructed by the Emperor Alexander
Severus on the Palatine for his mother, Mammaea, and popularly
known as ad Mammam(s) (vit. Alex. 26; RE v. 306). V. Domaszewski,
however, regards them as a mere invention (SHA 1916. 7 A, 13).
Diana : a shrine in the vicus Patricius, the only one of the many temples of
Diana into which men were not allowed to enter (Plut. q. Rom. 3 :
vao? Αρτέμιος ; RE v. 332).
Diana, aedes : the temple of Diana on the Aventine (in Aventino, CIL vi.
32323, 10, 32 : Censorin. de die nat. 23. 6) ascribed by tradition to
Servius Tullius, who assembled here the representatives of the surrounding
Latin towns and persuaded them to build this temple as the common
sanctuary of the league, in imitation of the temple of Diana at Ephesus
and its relation to the Ionian cities (Varro, LL v. 43 : commune Latinorum
Dianae templum ; Liv. i. 45. 2-6 ; Dionys. iv. 26 ; de vir. ill. 7. 9). It
was the oldest and most important temple on the Aventine, ordinarily
known as Diana Aventina (Prop. iv. 8. 29), or Aventinensis (Fest. 165 ;
Mart. vi. 64. 13 ; Vai. Max. vii. 3.1), and the Aventine itself was called
collis Dianae (Mart. xii. 18. 3 ; vii. 73. 1). It was near the thermae
Suranae (q.v. ; Mart. vi. 64. 13) and therefore probably just west of
the church of S. Prisca on the clivus Publicius (BC 1914, 346). Besides
aedes, it is referred to as templum (Varro, LL v. 43 ; Liv. i. 45), fanum
1 The 1515 edition follows the paging of that of 1510. In all three the phrase used
is ‘ ut in tiburtinis lapidibus noviter effossis apparet.’ Marliani gives the same information
(Topographia, ed. 1534, lib. v. c. 18, p. 116) ; but he improved on it in his second edition,
and wrote ‘ decem tabernae fuere in valle D. Agathae aedi subiectae, ut ex inscriptione
marmoris ibidem effossi didicimus ' (id. ed. 1544, lib. iv. c. 20, p. 86). Whether this is
a mistake or a correction is uncertain (Hiilsen, etc., S. Agata dei Goti (Rome, 1923), 10).
2 This stream, which is fed by the springs of the Aqua Iulia (q.v.), was brought to Rome
by Calixtus II in 1122 (LA 325-327) ; see also Circus Maximus.
