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 Fortunae[[488]].’ The goddess in this case was Fortuna Primigenia, imported from Praeneste—of whom something will be said later on[[489]]. The temple was vowed after the Second Punic War in B.C. 204, and dedicated ten years later[[490]]. Our consideration of Fortuna may be postponed till the festival of Fors Fortuna, an older Roman form of the cult, on June 24.
