260 HORA QUIRINI—HORREA CANDELARIA
schol. 7). In these passages the temple is called monumentum Marii,
which has led some to identify it with the monumenta Mariana of Valerius
Maximus (ii. 5. 6; iv. 4. 8) (Jord. i. 2. 44-45; WR 150; RE viii.
2293; Rosch. i. 2708; see Tropaea Marii).
Hora Quirini : see Horta.
Horrea Agrippiana : warehouses, presumably built by Agrippa, in
Region VIII (h. Agrippiana: Cur. ; CIL vi. 9972, 10026 ; xiv. 3958 (?) ;
h. Germaniciana et Agrippiana : Not.). Two fragments of the Marble
Plan (37, 86) represent the three cohortes of these horrea between the
clivus Victoriae and the vicus Tuscus, where excavations since 1904 have
disclosed the remains of the largest; and the identification is made certain
by the discovery of an altar in situ with an inscription recording the
erection of the statue of the Genius Horreorum Agrippianorum. The
excavated portion consists of a trapezoidal court surrounded with rect-
angular chambers of opus quadratum (above which are later upper
stories of brickwork) decorated with engaged columns of the Corinthian
order of Augustan date.1 The back wall on the north-east side, originally
of opus quadratum, was reconstructed in brickwork by Domitian when
he erected the building known as the templum Divi Augusti ; and the
triangular space between served to conceal the divergent orientation
which he introduced into the latter, the horrea having been constructed
on the same orientation as the domus Tiberiana. (HC 192 ; Mitt. 1905,
84; 1925, 213, 214; BC 1911,158-172; 1914,25-33; YW 1915, 1-2;
RE viii. 2461 ; Mon. L. xxvii. 373; DE iii. 986-7; CIL vi. 39417.)
Horrea Agrippiniana : known only from an inscription (CIL xiv. 3958)
found at Nomentum, but supposed to belong to Rome. It is quite likely
(DE iii. 987) that the name is simply a mistake for Agrippiana. It has
also been supposed that they were erected by one of the two Agrippinas
(BC 1876, 45). See authorities quoted above.
Horrea Aniciana : mentioned in Not. in Region XIII, but Cur. reads
Anicetiana, which is probably correct, though LI J 176 prefers Aniciana.
Nothing is known of either.
Horrea Caesaris : warehouses referred to under this name twice (Dig.
xx. 4. 21. 1 ; CIL vi. 33747), but probably to be identified with the horrea
Galbae (BC 1885, 112-117).
Horrea Candelaria : apparently a warehouse for wax tapers and similar
goods, known only from a fragment of the Marble Plan (53).
1 Remains of similar chambers (which should not be identified with the porticus Catuli :
LR 127 ; HJ 57, 58) are visible on the south-east side of the clivus Victoriae, higher up on
the side of the hill : while at the level of and behind the horrea may be seen scanty traces of
a Republican house (traces of wall decoration with stucco and seashells) and a cistern or
quarry cut in the rock, with a shaft leading down into it from the level of the clivus Vic-
toriae. The trapezoidal court has at a later date been filled with buildings of various
periods. First of all brick pillars were built to support awnings ; the chapel containing
the statue was erected in the second century a.d. ; the rest are still later.
