Regio VI Alta Semita

The Aurelian Wall marked most of its eastern and northern edge along with the Via Salaria vetus, with the Argiletum and Vicus Patricius on the south and southeast.

Also near the Capitolium was the Temple of Quirinus, one of the most beautiful sanctuaries in the city and restored by Augustus, as well as a statue dedicated to Mamurius Veturius.

This entertainment complex was the first public area of Rome destroyed when Alaric I penetrated the city through the gardens and was never restored.

Nearby was the street where the emperor Domitian was born, the Malum Punicium,[5] the site of which he later built the Temple of the gens Flavia where his ashes were placed.

It was here that the auctioning of the emperorship took place after the murder of Pertinax, between Didius Julianus and Titus Flavius Claudius Sulpicianus.
