448 'ΡΙΓΝΑΡΙΟΝ— ROMA QUADRATA
Finally, in Plutarch’s version (Rom. 9, 11), the highest part of the
Aventine is the auguraculum and burial place of Remus, but under
the names Π’β,αώρζοί', 'Ρεμώι/ζα, or, ‘ as it is now called,’ 'Ριγνάριον (HJ 174).
Whatever the connection between these variants may be, in historical
times Remoria was a part of the eastern Aventine near S. Balbina, and
was apparently identified with Saxum, ‘ The Rock,’ the spot where
Remus took the auspices (Cic. de domo 136 ; Ov. Fast. v. 148-150; cf.
Bona Dea Subsaxana).

Ripa Veientana : * the right bank of the Tiber, northwards from the pons

(CIL vi. 31547, 31548^, 31555 ; BC 1887, 15 ; Mitt. 1889, 286-287), it was
probably in use from very early times (cf. litus Etruscum, Hor. Carm.
i. 2. 14 ; Lydia ripa, Stat. Silv. iv. 4. 4), and may then have included
much of the right bank between Rome and the sea (HJ 651).

augural theory. Varro ap. Solin. i. 17 : dictaque primum est Roma

est in area Apollinis, et ad supercilium scalarum Caci habet terminum,

augural circuit began and ended must be meant : they can only have
been diagonally opposite if we accept Hulsen’s theory as to the temple
of Apollo (HJ 65). Cf. Plut. Rom. 9 ; Dionys. ii. 65 (the temple of Vesta

In the extended sense the term may be of comparatively late origin

were one ; and in the lists of the Argeorum Sacraria (q.v.), which date
probably from the third century b.c., they are still separate. The com-
parison of the outline of the Palatine with that of the Terremare is
specious, but is clearer in the plans than on the site, which has been
much transformed by the great imperial buildings, which have given it
a rectangular outline.
