from the study of the Roma Quadrata as a monument.

now know to be a sacred area near the temple of Apollo e delle Scalarum Caci (Sol, I, 17-18), ma l’esatta identificazione e la sua localizzazione aprirono spesso una lunga serie di dibattiti e di riflessioni su cui Castagnoli cerca di fare chiarezza. Egli infatti riferisce come per molto tempo venne accettata da molti l’arbitraria associazione del concetto espresso da Solino, il riferimento cioè a cose riposte “ominis gratia in urbe condenda”,

“Apta dies legitur, qua moenia signet aratro. (Ov. Fast. 4,819)

δέ Ρώμύλος… ώκιζε την πολιν…βόθρος γάρ ωρυγη περί τόν Κομίτιον κυκλοτερής…(Plut., Rom 11.1)

“…mundo quod sacrum Diti patri et Proserpine dicatum est…et Varro ita scribit: mundus cum patet, deorum tristium atque inferum quasi ianua pater.” (Macr. 1,16),

che invece descrivevano il mundus. Questa relazione avvenne perché fu riscontrata un’analogia content in the description of two different monuments, which caused the identification. Moreover, considering the hypothesis plutarchea wrong to place the mundus in Comice, it was deemed more than legitimate place mundus Rome square on the Palatine, the center of the hill, presumably at the intersection of the hinge and decumano, was found in a previous finding in center of some ear.

But in what respect were the two topographical landmarks?

1. For some it would be identified, imagining the circular monument on the square in the upper and underground.

2. Square only source: the two explanations are reported at the beginning of Festus;

3. The two names might refer to a circular monument and quadripartiro (= quadratus);

4. The mundus was covered by the Roma Quadrata,

5. The one included in the other, namely a square area with the function of templum.

However, considering that the hypothesis of Plutarch is not wrong, and that the mundus is located in the Forum, Mundus Square and Rome become two entirely separate realities: the mundus du Comice, circular, would be the center AGER Romanus, while Rome was the center square of the city square on the Palatine, and that's what Castagnoli considers more fair. According to Weinstock, the mundus du Comice was originally sacred to Ceres, and secondarily connected (by Ovid and Plutarch) with the origins of Rome. A recent version, Leopold, Du Jardin, even suggests the existence of the first two monuments on the Palatine, and after being buried in the palace of Domitian, the Comice where the RQ would be identified with the Lapis Niger.

On the other hand, beyond all the assumptions made for Castagnoli are an excellent starting point the following considerations: the mundus, sacred to Ceres and hands, for nothing can be tied to the rite of the founding of Rome, it is very unlikely that the sacred place the origin of Rome is both the "ianua deorum atque tristium inferum. The cult of the mundus is mainly linked to the world of the afterlife as shown by the etymology: The term derives from the munθ mundus, which perhaps means "dead", and generally from the root-mun, whose meaning seems certain chthonic. On the other hand it is unacceptable for Festo (Fest. 310 L), in his comprehensive treatment has failed its link with the origins of the city. This was the only

mundus in Rome, as amply testified to the sources, and was not connected with the origins of the city. Excluding the identity and any relationship with the mundus, the Roma Quadrata is that locus, as defined by Festo, in which he believed posed quae solent bona gratia ominis in urbe adhiberi seasoning, and it was ante templum Apollinis.
