		THE Piazza or Square of the Quirnal, now more commonly called the Piazza of Monte Cavallo, from the statues of the two horses (cavalli), is, taken altogether, not only one of the finest parts of Rome, but one of the most favourable points from which to see the rest of that city.
		This square is on the Quirinal Mount, which is the highest of the seven old hills: it commands some of the finest views of the modern city, with the noblest of its palaces and churches, fountains and obelisks.
		In the days of the Roman Empire, the Quirinal Mount was covered with buildings as it now is; and, besides the baths of Constantine, which we have mentioned, there was a splendid temple of the sun on the level space now called the square of Monte Cavallo.

	Quirinus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In legend Romulus took auguries for the founding of the city upon the Palatine, and Remus took auguries on the Aventine, the Palatine thus became identified with Romulus and the Latins.
		He also mentions that the ancient Sabine name for spear is curis, which would account for the identity of the Samnite war god by that name, but may also be the origin of Quirites as armed citizens, related to the organization of the citizenry into the curiae.
		H.H. Scullard, Festivals, p.78: Quirinus had an archaic shrine on the Quirinal, but his temple was not vowed until 325 BCE and not dedicated until 293 BCE: it was built perhaps near, rather than on, the site of the shrine.

		On August 9 there would be a public sacrifice on the Quirinal hill in honour of the divinity Sol Indiges.
		Quintilian says there was a pulvinar (a couch) dedicated to Sol near the Temple of Quirinus on the Quirinal, which is probably connected to this ritual somehow.
		In regards to the epithet "Indiges", Scullard warns us of the controversy associated with what it means: "the Indigetes have been regarded as di minores (gods of limited function)", as 'native' (as opposed to foreign) gods, or as ancestral gods.

		The Campus Martius (often called by contemporary Romans merely "Campus"), in general, covered the area outside Rome's pomerium, the level ground between the slopes of the Capitoline, the Quirinal, and the Pincian hills, and the Tiber.
		In the Fifth Century BC, this area was generally known by Romans as a grassy meadow in which sports, militia drilling and games were practiced; by the time of Augustus, the area was built up enough to be divided into several sections, of which his Region IX was the area right around the Circus Flaminius.
		The area received its name from the legend the land had belonged to the Tarquins and, after their expulsion, was taken over as public land and dedicated to the god Mars.

		It is interesting that the inscription on the bottom of Trajan's Column does not mention the Dacian wars which are the subject of its decoration, but the fact that it marks the original level of the ground which had to be cut away to make room for the Forum.
		In fact, its height corresponds to the summit of the Quirinal hill below the markets, and it records the fact that in the area of the forum square there was a saddle which joined the Quirinal to the Arx, the northern spur of the Capitoline hill.
		Prior to its construction, the only level route between the two areas involved a long detour round the South of the Capitol through the area of the Forum Boarium; the direct route involved a short climb up the Clivus Argentarius, the ancient road between the Arx and the Forum of Caesar.
