1 The discovery was revealed at a press conference held by the director of the excavations, Rosella Rea (SS-Col), in May 2016. See Corriere della Sera 17 May 2016; La Repubblica 17 May 2016 (newspaper reports cited here may be found at www.patrimoniosos.it in the Rassegna Stampa section).

The temple podium (measuring 42 m × 29 m) dates to the late sixth/early fifth century BC, with a rebuilding phase in the third century bc. For the new discoveries, see Corriere della Sera 10 September 2015; La Repubblica 10 September 2015.

3 The following tentative identifications of the temple have been proposed to now: Hora-Quirini (Arizza, Serlorenzi 2015 ([cit. n. 2), 147-65); Silvanus ( Carandini, A., Carafa, P. (eds) Atlante di Roma antica, Milan 2012, 452Google Scholar); a sanctuary of the Argei ( Coarelli, F., Collis, Rome 2014, 33Google Scholar). Quirinus is sure to be suggested sooner or later – see, for example, the topographical conclusions reached even before the new excavations by di Mores, G. Manca (‘Terrecotte architettoniche e problemi topografici: contribute all'identificazione del Tempio di Quirino sul colle Quirinale’, AnnPerugia 20 (1982–3), 323–60)Google Scholar and Paris, R.
