circus Vaticanus (Plin. NH xvi. 201 ; xxxvi. 74), increased importance
was given to this particular area, and Vaticanum then came to be used
of the circus itself, as well as of the whole district (Suet. Claud. 21. 2 :
circenses frequenter etiam in Vaticano commisit ; Amm. Marcell. xvii. 4.
16 : quorum unus (obeliscus) in Vaticano ; Not. Reg. XIV, cf. however,
Pr. Reg. 207).
Another application of the name Vaticanum seems to have been to
the shrine of the Magna Mater, whose cult was established close to the
circus (cf. Frigianum), if we may judge from an inscription found at
Lyon (CIL xiii. 1751 : L. Aemilius Carpus vires excepit et a Vaticano
transtulit ; cf. also an inscription of 236 a.d. from Kastell near Mayence,
ib. 7281 : deae Virtuti Bellonae montem Vaticanum vetustate conlabsum
restituerun(t) hastiferi civitatis Mattiacor.) (Jord. i. I. 438; HJ 623;
Gilb. ii. 122 ; iii. 449; and especially Liter, RhM 1891, 112-138).
Veiovis, aedes (templa, Ovid) : a temple on the island in the Tiber, the evi-
dence for the existence of which consists of an emended text in one passage
in Livy (xxxiv. 53. 7 (194 b.c.) : et in insula Vediovis 1 (for MSS. Iovis)
aedem C. Servilius duumvir dedicavit ; vota erat sex annis ante Gallico
bello ab L. Furio Purpurione praetore, ab eodem postea consule locata) ;
the assumption that through ignorance of the facts Ovid used Iuppiter
for Vediovis (Fast. i. 293-294 : Iuppiter in parte est : cepit locus unus
utrumque / iunctaque sunt magno templa nepotis (sc. Aesculapii) avo);
and another assumption that the entries in the Calendar (Fast. Praen.
ad Kai. Ian., CIL i2. p. 231 : [Aescujlapio Vediovi in insula; Fast. Ant.
ap. NS 1921, 83 : Aesculap(io) Cojnsjo Vediove) refer necessarily to a
temple of Vediovis. In the same way another passage in Livy (xxxi.
21. 12), where he is speaking of L. Furius Purpurio at the battle of Cremona
in 200 b.c., may be made to refer to the same temple by reading : aedem-
que Vediovi (for the MSS. deo Iovi) vovit si eo die hostes fudisset. These
emendations, and therefore the existence of the temple, near that of
Aesculapius, are accepted by most scholars (cf. HJ 635 : WR 236 ;
Jord. Comm, in honor. Mommsen 359-362 ; Gilb. iii. 82-84 1 Mommsen,
CIL i2. p. 305), but not by Besnier (249-272), who refuses to accept
the identification of Vediovis and Iuppiter and explains the reference in
the calendar by a sacrifice to Vediovis in the temple of Iuppiter Iurarius
(q.v.). See Veiovis in Capitolio fin.
Veiovis, aedes (templa, Ovid) : a temple of Veiovis inter duos lucos, in
the depression between the arx and Capitol (Vitr. iv. 8. 4 ; Gell. v. 12. 5),
dedicated on 7th March (Ov. Fast. iii. 429-430 ; Fast. Praen. ad Non.
Mart., CIL i2. p. 233, 311 ; Fast. Ant. ap. NS 1921, 89). According to
Vitruvius (loc. cit) this temple was peculiar in having ‘ columns added
on the right and left of the flanks of the pronaos ’ (tr. Morgan). It
contained a statue of the deity with arrows in one hand and a goat by
