Fortunae P[ublicae] P[opuli] R[omani] Q[uiritium] in Colle Quirin[ali]. (Caer.)
FORTUNÆ PUBLICÆ P[OPULI] R[OMANI] IN COLL[E]. (ESQ.)
FORTUNÆ PRIM[IGENIAE] IN COL[LE]. (VEN.)
This was the dedication-day of one of three temples of Fortuna on the Quirinal; the place was known as ‘tres Fortunae488.’ The goddess in this case was Fortuna Primigenia, imported from Praeneste—of whom something will be said later on489. The temple was vowed after the Second Punic War in B.C. 204, and dedicated ten years later490. Our consideration of Fortuna may be postponed till the festival of Fors Fortuna, an older Roman form of the cult, on June 24.
