THE FORNIX FABIUS

stood between the Temples of Cæsar and Castor; some slight remains can

still be seen. It was erected to Fabius Maximus, the conqueror of the

Allobroges, now Savoy. It was erected B.C. 121, being the first

triumphal arch in the Forum. The Romans originally called their

triumphal arch _fornix_, not _arcus_.

The pseudo-Ascon says it stood before the Temple of Castor. The

inscription was found in the sixteenth century, and is given by

Gruter, ccccvi. 5--

Q . FABIO . ALLOBROGICINO
