Chapter 16: Cloeliae virtus
Review
There is no new grammar in Chapter 16.
The pavement of the Sacra
Via, rising from the eastern edge of the Forum narrowly defined,
to the top of the hill to the east, the summa Sacra Via. On the
top of the hill now is the Arch of Titus to the right and the
temple of Antoninus and Faustina to the left, both after Quintus'
(Horace's) time and long after the semi-mythical time of Cloelia
in the Chapter 16 story. Her statue would have been at or near
the arch. Credits: S.B. Platner, The Topography and Monuments
of Ancient Rome (2nd ed.), p. 310, 1911, now out of copyright.
