Topic: Via Sacra


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Digital Roman Forum: resource
The Sacra Via was commonly believed to extend from Summa Sacra Via, where were clustered the Temple of the Lares (Augustus RG 19), the house of the rex sacrorum (Festus 372L), and the Temple of Iuppiter Stator (Plutarch Cic.
Varro explained this by saying sacra were carried from the sacellum to the arx every month, and the augurs setting out from the arx were accustomed to inaugurare by the Sacra Via.
Unless the clivus was considered part of Sacra Via, which no one suggests (cf., e.g., Pliny HN 19.23), the ascent must have been made by the stair.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.08.18
Concerning the Sacra Via, Carandini expands upon an idea first advanced by Coarelli concerning the location of the 'summa Sacra Via,' a topographic denominator traditionally associated with the physical high point of the street near the Arch of Titus but placed by revisionists further east near the 'short street to the Carinae'.
The Temple of Jupitor Stator is intimately connected to both the 'summa Sacra Via' and the Porta Mugonia by ancient authors, thus Carandini's new positions for both the gate and the street segment should affect the placement of that temple.
While Carandini's recent volume is a helpful compilation of his research and thoughts concerning the archaic topography of the Palatine and Sacra Via, his decision to write for a select audience of experts isolates the text from the majority of readers it might potentially serve.

Along the via Sacra, several shrines can be found together with the traces of the buildings affording shelter to pilgrims (churches, hostels, monasteries, inns, hospitals) and highly valuable historical and artistic items.
Integrity of both the cultural landscape along the Via Sacra Langobardorum and the relevant monuments are guaranteed by the many measures banning any changes, as taken pursuant to national legislation protecting cultural heritage; in addition, they are safeguarded by town-planning provisions for territorial governance.

Last comes an endnote in which the pillar of Carandini's reconstruction of the topography of the valley between the Palatine and the Velia - the identification of the discontinuity the excavators of the 'Palatine wall' claim to have discovered in Sector 9 with the Porta Mugonia - is critically examined.

 Sacra Via proper
Varro tells us that the Sacra Via went from the sacellum Streniae in the Colosseum valley to the Arx on the Capitoline, which meant it had to go through the forum, but then he adds that popularly only this stretch, from the Velia down to the eastern entrance to the Forum, is called Sacra Via.
Varro, de Lingua Latina 5.47: hinc (near the Carinae) oritur caput sacrae viae ab Streniae sacello quae pertinet in arcem, qua sacra quotquot mensibus ferunter in arcem et per quam augures ex arce profecti solent inaugurare.
In Satire 1.9 he was going on the Sacra Via "as is my habit" when a social-climbing bore accosted him; Horace was unable to shake the man until a summons to court did it for him.

 Roman triumph - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The parade followed a precise route in the streets of Rome, starting outside the Servian Walls of the city, in the Campus Martius on the western bank of the Tiber.
The triumphator would then cross the pomerium into the city through the Via Triumphalis (which centuries later was reopened as the current Via dei Fori Imperiali by Benito Mussolini so that he, too, could march in triumph) and travel along the Via Sacra into the Forum Romanum.
Also, the monumental Meta Sudans was erected by the Flavians to mark the point where the triumph route turned from the Via Triumphalis into the Via Sacra and the Forum.
