PRAT A QUINCTIA—PUDICITIA PATRICIA 433
Prata Quinctia : four iugera of land on the right bank of the river,
opposite the Navalia (q.v.), that were said to have belonged to
L. Quinctius Cincinnatus (Liv. iii. 13. 10 ; 26. 8; Fest. 256; Plin. NH
xviii. 20 ; RhM 1891, 128). Part of this area was probably open during
the early empire, as the name was still in use (see also Vaticanus Ager,
Vicus Raciliani).
Prata Vacci : see Domus Vitruvii Vacci.
Privata (Domus) Hadriani : the house of Hadrian in Region XII (Not.)
in which he lived before his adoption, and where Antoninus Pius lived
after his adoption by Hadrian (Hist. Aug. Marc. 5). Its place in the
list of the Notitia would point to a site near S. Saba, probably towards
the south-west (HJ 187 ; Merlin 326, 343).
Privata (Domus) Traiani : apparently the house of Trajan in which he
lived before his adoption by Nerva. It is mentioned only in the Notitia
(not Curiosum) after the Dolocenum in Region XIII, and is therefore
supposed to have been situated on the south-western part of the Aventine,
perhaps near the monastery of S. Anselmo (HJ 168 ; Merlin 318 ; BC
1914, 347-348).
Providentia Augusta, ara : an altar of the goddess who was the incarna-
tion of the imperial care over the Roman empire, mentioned in the acta
Arvalium of 38 a.d. (Henzen, Act. Arv. xlv. 74 ; CIL vi. 2028 d 15) and
39 (vi. 32346) and 43-48 (Henzen lvi. ; CIL vi. 2033, 5) ; and on coins
of the emperors from Nero to Vitellius (Cohen i. 296, No. 253 ; 329, No.
162 ; 361, No. 73 ; 397, No. 398-400 ; 444, No. 173-180 ; 508, No. 404-
406 ; Rosch. iii. 3187).
Pudicitia, ara : an altar of Pudicitia (Augusta) erected in honour of
Plotina, the wife of Trajan, of which nothing further is known (Cohen
ii. 97, No. 6-7 ; WR 334 ; Rosch. iii. 3375).
Pudicitia Patricia, sacellum (templum, signum) : a shrine in the forum
Boarium (Liv. x. 23. 3 (296 b.c.) : in sacello Pudicitiae patriciae quae
in foro boario est ad aedem rotundam Herculis ; 5 : in patriciae Pudicitiae
templum ; Fest. 242 : Pudicitiae signum in foro boario est, ubi Aemiliana
aedes est Herculis.1 earn quidam Fortunae esse existimant. item
via Latina ad milliarium mi Fortuna Muliebris, nefas est attingi nisi ab
ea quae semel nupsit (cf. PBS iv. 79) ; ib. 243 : Pudicitiae signum
Romae celebratur quod nefas erat attingi nisi ab ea quae semel nupserit).
There is no further record of this shrine, and the theory has been advanced
that there never was any such, but that the veiled statue of Fortuna
in her temple in the Forum Boarium (q.v.) was mistaken for one of
Pudicitia, and gave rise to the aetiological story told by Livy which
1 This is a correction of Scaliger ; Mommsen (CIL i.1 p. 150) prefers ubi familia edisset
Herculis. We have no evidence for the existence of an aedes Herculis Aemiliana (cf.
Hercules Victor (Invictus), aedes).
