It was dedicated to the Lares of Augustus by four officials of a street nine years after Augustus had restored the street shrines. That was in 6 B.C. (Dion Cassius, lv. 8); so this altar was erected in A.D. 3.

On the right side under the cornice is inscribed,—

P . CLODIVS . P

and on the left side,—

S . L . L . SALVIVS .

evidently the names of two of the officials.

The altar stands on a travertine base, on which is written,—

maGISTRI . VICI . ÆSCLETI . ANNI . VIIII

which is valuable as giving us the name of the street Vicus Æscletus, Beech Street.
