GENS FLA VIA—GRADES AURELII
247
the basilica Iulia. Aurelian ‘ genium populi Romani aureum in rostris
posuit ’ (Chron. 148; cf. Becker, Top. 320), which probably means that
the shrine was close to the rostra, and this agrees with the order in
Not. (Reg. VIII; see Jord. i. 2. 377 ; DE iii. 467-468 ; RE vii. 1166).
(2) According to the calendars (Fast. Amit. Arvai, ad vii Id. Oct.,
CIL i2. p. 245, 214, 331) sacrifices were offered on 9th October to the Genius
populi Romani, Felicitas and Venus Victrix in Capitolio, and therefore
there was probably a shrine or altar of this Genius on the Capitol also.
Whether it was dedicated to the Genius alone, or to the triad, is uncertain
(Jord. i. 2. 46 ; DE, RE locc. citt.; WR 179, 266 ; DR 142-145).
Gens Flavia, templum (templa Hist. Aug. Trig. Tyr. 33. 6 ; Claud. Goth.
3.6): a temple erected by Domitian on the site of his father’s, Vespasian’s,
house, in which he himself was born (Suet. Dom. I, 5 ; Chron. 146). This
was on the Ouirinal just south of the Alta Semita, the present Via Venti
Settembre, ad Malum Punicum, the modern Via delle Quattro Fontane
(Suet. loc. cit. ; Mart. ix. 20. I ; BC 1889, 383 ; RhM 1894, 399-400 ;
Mitt. 1891, 120). It was struck by lightning in 96 a.d. (Suet. Dom. 15) ;
probably enlarged by Claudius Gothicus in 268-270 a.d. (Hist. Aug. cit. :
PBS iii. 242-243, though the theory here advanced in regard to the
Flavian date of the round reliefs of the Arch of Constantine (q.v.) is
not now generally accepted), and was standing in the fourth century
(Not. Reg. VI). It was probably round in shape (Mart. ix. 3. 12, 34. 2 ;
Stat. Silv. iv. 3. 19 ; Altm. 88), and was intended to serve as the
mausoleum of the Flavian dynasty. Domitian’s ashes were placed there
(Suet. Dom. 17), and it is probable that he had, before his death, removed
thither the ashes of his father and brother (Mart. ix. 34. 7 ; Stat. Silv.
v. 1. 240-241; Hirschfeld, Berl. Sitz.-Ber. 1886, 1158-1159 = Kleine
Schriften 463-464). It was a magnificent structure, and evidently regarded
as a symbol of the eternity of Rome (Mart. ix. I. 8, 3. 12 ; Stat. Silv.
iv. 3. 18-19). Nothing is known of the building after the fourth century,
and no certain traces of it have been found (HJ 426 ; cf., however,
Altmann, loc. cit., for possible evidence from Vacca).
Gens Iulia, ara : an altar on the Capitoline, presumably 1 in the Area
Capitolina (q.v.). Copies of a number of the diplomata of honourably
discharged soldiers, belonging to the years after 71 a.d., state that the
originals were fastened to this altar (CIL iii. pp. 847-851, Suppl. pp. 1958,
1959, 2034 ; DE i. 604 ; Jord. i. 2. 56). and it is no doubt this altar that is
referred to in a fragment of the Acta Fratrum Arvalium of uncertain
date (CIL vi. 2035, 1. 4).

1 A diploma published in JRS 1926, 95-101, states that the original was ‘ fixa Romae in
Capitolio in basi Pompifli regis ad] aram gentis Iuliae,’ which makes this presumption a
certainty.
