<p>Sanctuary of Fortuna Respiciens (‘Solicitous Fortune’) located on the E slopes of the *Palatine (<i>Reg. Cats., Regio X</i>: <i>Fortuna Respiciens</i>; Anselmino and Strazzulla; Richardson). The cult site is associated with a 2nd-c. B.C. terracotta pediment depicting the goddess seated on an altar (Strazzulla 1990-91, 236, figs. 3-4). This pediment was recovered in the late 1800s along the *Via di S. Gregorio, between the Claudian-Neronian aqueduct and the Portale del Vignola (now the E entrance to the Palatine archaeological site) at a level predating the fire of A.D. 64 (Anselmino 1990-91, 198-204). Though no building remains can be associated with the pedimental sculptures (which indicate a pediment of some size: 15-16 m across, 2 m high), the temple was surely in the area of its findspot (Anselmino 1990-91, 211-17; Anselmino and Strazzulla fig. 108 for two possible sites), as the region was known as the <i>vicus Fortunae Respicientis</i> by 2nd c. A.D. (<i>CIL</i> VI 975: A.D. 136), and the 4th-c. Regionary Catalogues list Fortuna Respiciens between the *Curiae Veteres (at the NE corner of the Palatine) and the Severan <i>Septizodium</i> (at the SE corner of the Palatine). Plutarch mentions a ἱερόν (sanctuary) of Tύχη Ἐπιστρεφομένη, ‘Attentive Fortune’ (generally held to be the Greek equivalent of Fortuna Respiciens: Strazzulla 1990-91, 253), founded in the 6th c. B.C. by Servius Tullius on the Esquiline (<i>De fort. Rom</i>. 10 emended; <i>Quaest. Rom</i>. 74); this problematic location has been resolved in two ways: by proposing a second shrine of Fortuna Respiciens on the Esquiline, or through a textual emendation which associates the Esquiline location with Fortuna Virgo (Anselmino 1990-91, 207). Either way, the Palatine temple surely existed by the late-Republican period, since its pediment dates to the 2nd c. B.C., and Fortuna Respiciens continued to be worshipped in the area through the 4th c. A.D. (on the cult’s popularity and for a thorough list of sources mentioning the deity: Anselmino and Strazzulla). Given the absence of a specific location on the E Palatine slope, an approximate site is marked by an index number.</p>
