 Inscription found at Ostia, on a marble altar in temple B, 
 Not. Scavi 1886, p. 127 ; C. I. L. XIV. 4127. 
 
 VENERI 
 SACRVM 
 
 Mr. Van Buren proposes — 
 
 1. to identify temple F as the Capitolium ; because 
 
 {a) it has a long basis, suitable for three cult-statues, at the 
 rear of the cella. 
 
 {b) it has a very high podium. 
 
 ic) it is situated in a prominent place, in the center of the city. 
 
 (Cf. the temples identified as Capitolia at Pompeii, Lambaesis 
 and Thamugadi ; see Pauly-Wissowa, j-. v. Capitolium.) 
 
 2. to identify temples B C D E (iV^. ^S. 1886, p. 162) with the 
 temples of Venus, Fortuna, Ceres and Spes mentioned in the in- 
 scriptions of Gamala ; because 
 
 (a) the temples B C D E form a homogeneous group, and the 
 four temples of the first inscription are mentioned in similar terms. 
 
 (b) the altar inscribed to Venus identifies B with the temple 
 of Venus mentioned in the inscriptions. 
 
 (c) B C D E seem to have been built in the first century B. C, 
 and then restored in the second century A. D., after a fire ; to this 
 restoration the inscriptions of Gamala seem to refer. [This was 
 Mr. Van Buren's conclusion after a careful study of the remains; 
 a fuller publication of temples B C D E, however, is desirable.]
