<p>Modern name for the ancient street which climbed the N *Palatine slope from the *Sacra Via at a point where the natural topography made for a light ascent (Ammerman 12). The street’s ancient name is unknown (Cassatella associates it with the <i>vicus Apollinis</i>, known from the Capitoline base of A.D. 136: <i>CIL</i> VI 975). The recovered pavers date to various periods, with only a brief stretch near the Arch of Titus predating the fire of A.D. 64 (Cassatella). Two late-Republican residences flanking the lower portion of the road reflect its course (s.v. *Domus: M. Aemilius Scaurus; *Domus: Nova Via); just S of these, the *Nova Via intersected the “Clivus Palatinus” (Cassatella). No traces of the Republican or early-Imperial street remain higher up the Palatine slope (Richardson; Cassatella); thus its path across the heights of the Palatine remains unknown. Our map renders only the secure lower segment.</p>
