  Pomerium Information
The pomerium was not a walled area (unlike the Chinese Forbidden City), but rather a legally and religiously defined one marked by cippi: It encompassed neither the entire metropolitan area nor even all the proverbial Seven Hills (the Palatine Hill was within the pomerium, but the Capitoline and Aventine Hills were not).
This was symbolised by removing the axes from the fasces carried by the magistrate's lictors.
Pompey's Theater, where Julius Caesar was murdered, was also outside the pomerium and included a Senate chamber where the Senate could meet with the attendance of individual senators who were forbidden to cross the pomerium and thus would not have been able to meet in the Curia Hostilia.

 Pomerium
The pomerium (or pomoerium) was the sacred boundary of the city of Rome.
Tradition maintained that it was inaugurated by Servius Tullius, but it did not follow the line of the Servian walls, and it is unlikely that he actually did establish the sacred boundary, which remained unchanged until the dictatorate of Lucius Cornelius Sulla.
The temple of Bellona was beyond the pomerium.

 GUILLAUME DUFAY/ Alexander Blachly/ Pomerium/
Pomerium is a group specialising in the performance of the vocal music of the Renaissance which is not often heard.
For the present, Pomerium's new CD is an indispensable part of the record collection of anyone who is interested in the music of Du Fay, since it includes a recording of his Recollectio Festorum Beate Marie Virginis, discovered just over two decades ago.
Nuper rosarum and Ecclesie militantis are two of Du Fay's most famous works, the first associated with the consecration of the cathedral of Florence in March 1436, and the second perhaps dedicated to the coronation of Pope Eugene IV in March 1431.

Inspired by the renowned chapel choirs of the Renaissance, Pomerium revives the golden age of a cappella singing.

The pomerium (or pomoerium), from post + moerium>murum [1]), was the sacred boundary of the city of Rome.
Tradition maintained that it was inaugurated by Servius Tullius, but it did not follow the line of the Servian walls, and it is unlikely that he actually did establish the sacred boundary, which remained unchanged until the Dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla in a demonstration of his absolute power, expanded it in 80 BC.
Furthermore, (provincial) promagistrates and generals were forbidden from entering it, and resigned their imperium immediately upon crossing it (as it were the superlative form of the ban on armies entering Italy).

 Pomerium
According to legend, Romulus set the pomerium, i.e., the sacred boundary of the city, and the course of its defensive walls.
The national pomerium — the Constitution — is viewed as an archaic relic.
The pomerium is there for a very good reason: In defining limits, it promotes peaceful coexistence rather than constant infighting.

Led by director Alexander Blachly, Pomerium, whose name translates as "garden," is distinguished by its beauty and purity of sound, remarkable inner voice clarity, and always impeccable intonation -- qualities which sounded forth perfectly in the splendid acoustic of Manhattan's Corpus Christi Church.
Ockeghem's Missa L'homme armé dominated the first half, and here Pomerium's arresting qualities were at their most audible, as Blachly and his singers maintained a tonal variety that ever captivated the ear throughout six movements all in the same key.
This last was one of the pieces wherein Pomerium subdivided into smaller units (in this case a vocal trio); others included the humorous Filles a marier (Binchois) and the more serious Vergene bella (male trio) by Guillaume Du Fay, whose Il sera par vous combatu featured as well.

 Pomerium
Der Legende nach wurde das Pomerium von Servius Tullius festgelegt, wobei es allerdings nicht der Linie der Servianischen Mauern folgte, sodass seine Beteiligung daran tatsächlich unwahrscheinlich ist.
Das Pomerium blieb bis zur Diktatur von Sulla unverändert.
Religiöse und politische Zwänge verboten gesalbten Herrschern, das Pomerium zu betreten, mit dem Ergebnis, dass bei Staatsbesuchen Peinlichkeiten auftreten mussten; Kleopatra zum Beispiel betrat, als sie Caesar in Rom besuchte, niemals die Stadt.

 Wetenschapsforum.nl :: Pomerium van Romulus
Op wikipedia is wel een kaartje te vinden waar het pomerium op staat http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afbeelding:Pomerium.gif maar daar kan ik niet veel wijs uit worden.
Het verhaal kan een legende zijn inderdaad, maar veel legendes vinden hun oorsprong in iets dat daadwerkelijk gebeurd is. Het pomerium zal misschien niet door Romulus opgezet zijn, maar het is er waarschijnlijk wel geweest, getuige de bronnen.
Deze grens - gesteld dat er ooit een dergelijke grens bestond - is op zijn minst duizenden jaren oud, en op een handvol pyramides, een Chinese muur, resten van een verloren gewaande stad en wat tempels na, zijn er op de hele wereld weinig tot geen overblijfselen gevonden van dergelijke oude constructies.
