<p>Double Temple to Honos and Virtus, without archaeological remains, close by the *Porta Capena (<i>ante aedes Honoris et Virtutis ad portam Capenam</i>: <i>RG</i> 11) and the sanctuary of the *Camenae (Servius, <i>ad Aen</i>. 1.8.19-23) in the vicinity of the *Vicus Honoris et Virtutis of <i>Regio I</i>. M. Claudius Marcellus, the conqueror of Syracuse, is reported to have restored an older Temple of Honos as well as added a new <i>cella</i> for Virtus; these were dedicated in 205 B.C. by his son (Livy 27.25.7-9, 29.11.13). The temple was renowned for its superb artworks dedicated by Marcellus from the spoils of Syracuse, many of which had disappeared by Livy’s time (25.40.3). The sanctuary received a new and specifically Augustan meaning in 19 B.C. when the senate erected the Altar of Fortuna Redux in front of the temple; there, by the gate where Augustus entered the city, the altar commemorated his safe and singularly successful return from the East with the Roman standards regained from the Parthians (<i>RG</i> 11, cf. 29; Dio Cass. 54.10.3-4; Coarelli, <i>LTUR</i> II).</p> <p>Richardson (190; id. 1978, 244) assumes the temple to be just <i>inside</i> the Porta Capena, based on Livy, who describes the temple as ‘in the vestibule of the City, almost at the gate’ (<i>in vestibulo Urbis, prope in porta</i>: Livy 26.32.4), and supported by a postulated intramural Camenae sanctuary. Yet the more convincing and widely-accepted interpretation of the sources favors an <i>outside</i> location (Palombi 32; Coarelli, <i>LTUR</i> III; Ziolkowski; Rodríguez Almeida separates an intramural temple from an extramural Camenae). In fact, an altar celebrating Augustus’ spectacular return would hardly have been set up in a withdrawn position behind the walls; more plausible would be a welcoming site in front of them. Thus, our placement of the temple follows the traditional, as well as the most recent, siting just outside the Porta Capena at the foot of the *Caelian (cf. the Temple of *Honos outside the *Porta Collina).</p> <p>An additional confirmation for an extramural site may come from Asconius (<i>Pis</i>. 11 Clark) who speaks of the Claudii Marcelli family’s ancestral <i>monumenta</i> at a Temple of Honos et Virtus. Should these ‘monuments’ refer to the family’s tomb and should Asconius intend the Porta Capena Temple of Honos et Virtus (for details, *Sepulcrum: Claudii Marcelli), a location outside the city wall would be certain.</p>
