468 SCHOLA QUINDECIMVIRUM—SECUNDENSES
towns (CIL x. 5917; ix. 665, 2336; xiv. 3677; DE ii. 104). In the
first of these inscriptions a quaestor collegi caplatorum is mentioned, and
this may cast some light on the title of the Notitia (Pr. Reg. 126 ; HJ 319 ;
HCh 316-318). The trivium or contrada cambiatoris, a mediaeval
district near the Colosseum and the basilica of Constantine, may preserve
the latter name.
Schola Quindecimvirum Sacris Faciundis : the name given by modern
topographers (LF 14) to a building of which some remains were found
in 1886 a little north-west of the Tarentum, when the Corso Vittorio
Emanuele was built. This building may have been an office of the
xvviri in charge of the ludi saeculares (HJ 598 ; Mon. L. i. 548).
Schola Sodalium Serrensium : probably the headquarters of the sodales
Serrenses, mentioned in one inscription of the third century (CIL vi. 839)
which was found a little way outside the porta Nomentana (BCr 1864, 57 ;
cf. ClCINENSES, PARIANENSES).
Schola Xanthi : an office of the scribae, praecones and librarii of the
curule aediles which was erected on the site of an earlier one by Bebryx
Aug. lib. Drusianus and A. Fabius Xanthus (hence the modern name
Schola Xanthi) during the principate of Tiberius, and restored by a certain
C. Avilius Licinius Trosius in the early part of the third century. This
is known from the double inscription (CIL vi. 103 = 30692 ; Mitt. 1888,
208-232), which is repeated on the inside and outside of the epistyle
of a small but beautiful building that was excavated in 1539 (LS ii.
185-186) between the arches of Tiberius and Septimius Severus, and
shortly afterwards destroyed. During the excavations of 1900-1902
there were found on the site of this earlier discovery, in front of the
row of chambers that support the clivus Capitolinus, the remains of a
room of trapezoidal shape, with a pavement of white marble. A marble
seat encircled three sides of the chamber and in the middle of the north
wall is a door from which a flight of steps led up to the level of the clivus
Capitolinus. There were also marks of posts or columns on the pavement.
The concrete of this building dates from 14-16 a.d. (AJA 1912, 398),
and corresponds with the indication of the inscription, while the ruins
agree with the accounts of the first discovery. It is therefore generally
assumed that this is the schola or office of the aediles’ clerks (Jord. i. 2.
367; Mitt. 1902, 12-13; BC 1903, 164; Gilb. iii. 161-162 ; Thedenat
162, 265 ; HC 69-70 ; DR 385-387 ; RE Suppl. iv. 500-501).
Secretarium Circi : a building, or office, mentioned only once (Sym. Rel.
23. 9), and apparently connected with the office of the praefectus urbi.
Secretarium Senatus : see Curia.
Secretarium Tellurense : see Praefectura Urbana.
Secundenses : those who dwelt in a certain locality (cf. Parianenses,
Cicinenses), probably on the Esquiiine in Region III near the Sicinium
(S. Maria Maggiore). The name occurs in a fragmentary inscription
