FORTUNA SEIANI—FORUM AHENOBARBI
219
Fortuna Seiani, aedes : a temple of Fortuna built bv Nero within the
precincts of the domus Aurea (Plin. NH xxxvi. 163 : Nerone principe
in Cappadocia repertus est lapis duritia marmoris . . . hoc construxerat
aedem Fortunae quam Seiani appellant a Servio rege sacratam, amplexus
area domo). Cassius Dio (lviii. 7) states that Sejanus had in his own
house the statue of Fortuna set up by Servius Tullius, probably in the
temple of Fortuna in the Forum Boarium (q.v.), that was covered with
two togas (Plin. NH viii. 197 : Servi Tullii praetextae quibus signum
Fortunae ab eo dicatae coopertum erat, duravere ad Seiani exitum), and
Nero may have erected this temple to house this statue, but this is mere
conjecture (Wissowa, Ges. Abh. 260; HJ xxii. ; Rosch. i. 1510-1511
and literature cited ; BC 1914, 366).
Fortuna Stata : a shrine of some sort known only from an inscription
(CIL vi. 761) that records its dedication in 112 a.d. by the magistri of
the Vicus Sandaliarius (q.v.) in Region IV.
Fortuna Tulliana : probably one of the several temples of Fortuna
ascribed by tradition to Servius Tullius, which for some reason was
marked out by the epithet Tulliana (Rosch. i. 1521). It is known only
from one inscription found near the porta Flaminia (CIL vi. 8706 :
aedituus aedis Fortunae Tullianae), and no identification is more than
conjectural, although that with Fors Fortuna seems not unlikely.
Fortuna Virgo (ιερόν) : a temple of Τάχ?? παρθένος said to have been built
by Servius Tullius (Plut. q. Rom. 74 : παρά όε τήν Χίουσκωσαν καΧουμενην
κρήνην] de fort. Rom. 10 ; cf. Fons Muscosus). It may be referred to
by Varro (ap. Non. 189 : virginis Fortunae (i.e. signum), and it is
possible that it may be the ancient temple of Fortuna in the forum
Boarium (WR 257 ; Rosch. i. 1519 ; RE vii. 19).
Fortuna Virilis* (ιερόν, εόος) : a temple of Τόχ>; αρρην (undoubtedly the
Greek of Fortuna Virilis), ascribed to Servius Tullius (Plut. q. Rom. 74;
de fort. Rom. 10 ; cf. Fast. Praen. ad Kai. Apr., CIL i2. p. 235). The
site of the temple is unknown, and its actual existence has been called
in question1 (Rosch. i. 1518 ; RE vii. 22). The name has been very
generally (but wrongly) applied to the temple of Mater Matuta (q.v.).
Fortuna Viscata (ιερόν) : a temple of Τνχ?/ ίξευτηρία (Plut. q. Rom. 74 :
ήν βισκαταν όνομαζουσι ως πόρρωθεν ήμων άΧισκομενων νπ αυτής και
προσισγομενών τοΐς πράγμασιν ; de fort. Rom. Ιθ), ascribed to Servius
Tullius. Its site is uncertain, but it may have been on the Palatine
(HJ 46). For discussion of the epithet, see CR 1903, 421 ; RE vii. 35 ;
Rosch. i. 1515).
Fortunium : see Portunium.
Forum Ahenobarbi : mentioned only in the list of fora in Appendix I of the
Regionary Catalogue, and entirely unknown (Pr. Reg. 226 ; Jord. ii. 214).
