REG1UM ATRIUM—REMORIA 447
of the forum Boarium through the Velabrum and to the east end of the
atrium Vestae.
IX, Circus Flaminius, including all the territory between the Servian
wall, the via Flaminia and the Tiber.
X, Palatium, the Palatine, within the lines described by Tacitus
(Ann. xii. 24) as those of the first Pomerium (q.v.).
XI, Circus Maximus, a very irregular region, containing the circus
Maximus, and bounded by the Tiber, and Regions IX, VIII, X, XII and
XIII.
XII, Piscina Publica, so called from a district within its limits that had
formerly contained a public reservoir or swimming bath. This region
included the eastern part of the Aventine, and was bounded by the via
Appia and Region I, the Aurelian wall, and the vicus portae Rauduscu-
lanae and the vicus Piscinae Publicae.
XIII, Aventinus, the Aventine and the district south of it, between
the boundaries of XII and XI, the Aurelian wall, and the Tiber.
XIV, Trans Tiberim (Trastevere), all the city on the right bank of
the Tiber, together with the insula Tiberina. The limits of this region
cannot be determined, but it included much more than the territory
within the Aurelian wall. It extended south as far as the temple of Fors
Fortuna (q.v.) and north far enough to include the Vatican district.

Regium Atrium : see Atrium Vestae.
Remora : the name which Remus would have given to Rome if he had
been its founder (Enn. frg. 77 (Vahlen) : certabant urbem Romam
Remoramve vocarent). This is probably a mere variant for Remoria
(q.v.), required by the metre (Mommsen, Hist. Schr. i. 15. a. 2 ; Glotta
i. 294).
Remoria : a locality connected with the Remus legend. According to
what is probably the earliest form of the tradition (Dionys. i. 85 ; orig.
gent. Rom. 23), it was a hill near the Tiber, five miles down stream from
the Palatine, where Remus wished to build the future city, and where
he was buried (Dionys. i. 87). The same tradition is preserved in Festus
(276) : Remurinus ager dictus quia possessus est a Remo, et habitatio
Remi Remona, where Remona is only a variant for Remoria.
Uncertainty as to the place where Remus took the auspices is seen
in the words of Festus, following those just quoted : sed et locus in
summo Aventino Remoria dicitur, ubi Remus de urbe condenda fuerat
auspicatus, and in Dionysius (i. 86), where we read that some believed
the Aventine was the place appointed, others the Remoria,
of the forum Boarium through the Velabrum and to the east end of the
atrium Vestae.
