<p>Ancient name for an *Esquiline neighborhood (Paulus in Festus 247: <i>Patricius vicus Romae dictus eo, quod ibi patricii habitaverunt</i>; Festus 476: <i>Esquiliarum</i>) applied by modern scholars to the street leading NE from the *Argiletum and *Clivus Suburanus along the valley between the *Viminal and *Cispian, following the general course of Via Urbana (Lanciani, <i>FUR</i> pls. 17, 23). Serra notes that in late antiquity a <i>clivus Patricii</i> led to the Baths of Diocletian, which suggests that the Vicus Patricius did not continue along Via D’Azeglio straight to the *Porta Viminalis, but turned N toward the S corner of the Baths of Diocletian to join the *Vicus Collis Viminalis (cf. Serra 357 fig. 89). Somewhere on this street stood a temple of Diana (Plut., <i>Quaest. Rom.</i> 3), and perhaps also a temple or sanctuary of Isis Patricia, mentioned in the Regionary Catalogues for <i>Regio V</i>.</p>
