[The text continues from the previous page's list of gates]

...Lavernal, named after the goddess Laverna original: "uernalis a Lauerna dea." Laverna was the Roman goddess of thieves and the underworld; her grove was located near this gate..
Rudusculan

Rudusculan: so called because it was ploughed up from arata, or perhaps because it was left in a rough or unpolished state from rudis near the Naevian gate.
Ruthumena

Ruthumena, named after a charioteer of the same name.
Minutian

Minutian, named after the small shrine of Minutius.
Catularian, named after dogs from catuli because they were sacrificed there. The locations of the entrances to these gates are unknown due to their great antiquity and the frequent rebuilding of the city walls; however, many people say many different things: as many men, so many opinions original: "quot homines, tot sententiae," a famous Latin proverb by Terence..

On the Roads and Plazas

There were twenty-nine principal roads in the City, as is maintained by Publius Victor P. Victor is the name traditionally attributed to a 4th-century catalog of Rome's landmarks, known as the Curiosum or Notitia.; however, there were just as many roads as there were gates, as Livy says. I shall write a few things concerning them.

Triumphal

The Triumphal Way Via Triumphalis extended from the Vatican—where there was also a Triumphal Bridge—all the way to the Capitoline Hill, although some scholars assert it went as far as the Velabrum The low-lying valley between the Palatine and Capitoline hills..

Flaminian

The Flaminian Way Via Flaminia, which Gaius Flaminius, the colleague of Marcus Lepidus during his consulship and victor over the Ligurians, paved from the city of Rome through Tuscany and Umbria as far as Rimini; its remains can still be seen in many places today.

Salarian

The Salarian Way Via Salaria took its name from salt Latin: sal, because salt was customarily carried along this road into the territory of the Sabines.

Nomentan

The Nomentan Way, or Figulensian, is the road by which one travels to Nomentum, a town in the Sabine region. There were baths in the Nomentan fields; it was near here, at the fourth milestone at the suburban estate of his freedman The freedman was Phaon; this event occurred in 68 AD. between the Salarian and Nomentan ways, that the fleeing Nero Claudius killed himself.

Labican

The Labican Way begins at the Esquiline Gate, which is also the starting point for the Praenestine Way; Strabo mentioned these roads in his fifth book.
