IUNO CURITIS—IUNO LUCINA, AEDES
The temple was Ionic, hexastyle, probably with antae, and pycnostyle,
that is, with intercolumnar spaces equal to one and a half diameters
(Vitr. iii. 3. 2 ; Stat. Silv. i. I. 22-24). The columns were 1.18 metres in
diameter at the base, and their height was nine times the diameter.
The cella occupied the whole width of the temple, about 17 metres.
The space between the two middle columns of the pronaos was wider
than that between the others, and within the cella, opposite its entrance
and this wide intercolumniation, stood a colossal statue1 of Caesar with a
comet or star on its head, perhaps that referred to by Pliny (NH ii. 93-94 ;
cf. Suet. Caes. 88, Ov. Met. xv. 841-842 and Cass. Dio xlv. 7. 1). In
this temple Augustus placed treasures from the spoil that he had taken
(Mon. Anc. iv. 24), and paintings of the Dioscuri, Victoria (Plin. NH
xxxv. 27), and of Venus Anadyomene by Apelles (ib. 91). As this had
been injured by dampness, Nero replaced it by one by Dorotheus.
Remains of the concrete podium and of the architectural decoration
still exist ; but the concrete core has been almost entirely stripped
of the stone walls by which it was originally enclosed (Jord. i. 2. 406-409 ;
Thed. 153-156, 269-273 ; HC 155-159, Toeb. cit. ; Fiechter in Zeitschr.
f. Gesch. d. Archit. viii. (1924), 62-72 ; Mitt. 1906, 276; DR 191-201 ;
RE Suppl. iv. 508-510; ASA 72; HFP 14, 15).
Iuno Curitis : a shrine of some kind in the campus Martius, of which
the day of dedication was 7th October (Hemer. Arv. ad Non. Oct., CIL
vi. 32482 ; xi. 3126 ; CIL i2. p. 214; Fast. Ant. ap. NS 1921, 115). This
was probably the Iuno Curitis of Falerii (WR 187 ; Fowler, Roman
Festivals 239; Rosch. ii. 506-597, 603; CIL i2. p. 331; RE x. 1118,
1123).
Iuno Iuga : an altar in the Vicus Iugarius (q.v.), mentioned only in Festus
(104 : iugarius vicus dictus Romae quia ibi fuerat ara lunonis Iugae
quam putabant matrimonia iungere) and Placidus (58, Deuerl.) : Iugi
Iunoni a qua ‘ vicus Iugarius.’ ara ibi sita est). Despite these state-
ments, it is generally held that the altar was erected there because of a
fancied connection (Jord. i. 2. 468; Gilb. i. 257; iii. 416; WR 186 ;
Rosch. ii. 603).2
Iuno Lucina, lucus : see Iuno Lucina, aedes.
Iuno Lucina (θησαυρός, Dionys.), aedes : a temple built in 375 b.c.
(Plin. NH xvi. 235) in a grove {Lucus') that had been consecrated to the
goddess from very early times (Varro, LL v. 49, 74, who assigns the
introduction of the cult to Titus Tatius ; Dionys. iv. 15). It was on the
Cispius, near the sixth shrine of the Argei (Varro, LL v. 50 ; Ov. Fast,
ii. 435-436 ; iii. 245-246), probably not far west of S. Prassede and
1 See Hermes, 1875, 342-359, and supra, p. 226.
2 Hulsen, however, is in favour of the connection with Iuno Iuga ; for we hear of no guild
of ' iugarii ’ (Jord. i. 1. 515), and yokes were probably made by the peasants at home rather
than in any particular place. Cf. HFP 13.
