The _tria signa_ of Liv. 23. 19, placed ‘in aede Fortunae’ by M. Anicius after his escape from Hannibal, with a dedication, may possibly have been those of Fortuna and the two babes (Preller, ii. 192. note 1): but this is very doubtful. Footnote 978: Jordan, _Symbolae_, 10; _Lex._ s. v. Fortunae, 1543; Fernique, _Étude sur Préneste_, 78. Footnote 979: Gerhard, _Antike Bildwerke_, Tab. iv. no. 1, gives an example: the children here, however, are not babes, and the mother has her arms round their necks. It seems more to resemble the types of Leto with Apollo and Artemis as infants (_Lex._ s. v. Leto, 1973), as Prof. Gardner suggests to me. Footnote 980: Ad _Aen._ 7. 799. Footnote 981: _Lex._ s. v. Iuppiter, 640. Footnote 982: See Fernique, _Étude sur Préneste_, pp. 79-81. Footnote 983: Fernique, op. cit. p. 79. Footnote 984: Fernique, 139 foll. Wissowa writes of Praeneste as ‘a special point of connexion between Latin and Etruscan culture’ (_Lex._ s. v. Mercurius, 2813). Footnote 985: Plutarch, _Parallela_, 41. Footnote 986: See at end of April, p. 95. Footnote 987: Liv. 1. 31. 3 ‘visi etiam audire vocem ingentem ex summi cacuminis luco, ut patrio ritu sacra Albani facerent.’ Footnote 988: e. g. the vases of very primitive make (Henzen, _Acta Fratr. Arv._ 30). Footnote 989: Liv. 27. 11 (B.C. 209). Footnote 990: Niebuhr, _Hist. of Rome_, ii. 37. Strong arguments are urged against this view by Aust, _Lex._ 696. Footnote 991: Paul. Diac. 87. The lucus is mentioned in the corrupt fragments of the Argean itinerary (see on May 15) in Varro, _L. L._ 5. 50 (see Jordan, _Topogr._ ii, 242): where I am inclined to think the real reading is ‘Esquiliis cis Iovis lucum fagutalem’; ‘Iuppiter Fagutalis’ in Plin. _N. H._ 16. 37; a ‘vicus Iovis Fagutalis,’ _C. I. L._ vi. 452 (110 A.D.). Footnote 992: For Iuppiter Viminius and his ara, Fest. 376. Footnote 993: Liv. 1. 10; Dionys. 2. 34; Propert. 5. (4.) 10. Footnote 994: For other examples of this practice see Bötticher, _Baumkultus_, pp. 73 and 134; Virgil, _Aen._ 10. 423, and Servius, ad loc.; Statius, _Theb._ 2. 707. Footnote 995: Corn. Nep. _Atticus_, 20; cf. Mommsen, _Res Gestae Divi Augusti_, p. 53; Dion. Hal. 2. 34. 4. This is apparently what Livy alludes to in 1. 10, attributing it, after Roman fashion, to Romulus: ‘Templum his regionibus, quas modo animo metatus sum, dedico sedem opimis spoliis.’ For a discussion of the shape of this temple see Aust, in _Lex._ s. v. Iuppiter, 673. He is inclined to attribute it (679) to the A. Cornelius Cossus who dedicated the second _spolia opima_ in B.C. 428 (Liv. 4. 20). Footnote 996: The meaning of the cult-title is obscure; _Lex._ s. v. Iuppiter, 673. Footnote 997: Paul. Diac. 92; Serv. _Aen._ 12. 206. Footnote 998:
