The Aedes Aemiliana Herculis in the Forum Boarium: New Considerations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
One of the most important areas of ancient Rome was the Forum Boarium, where the cult of Hercules was especially prominent. This article examines ancient and Renaissance sources about one of the temples dedicated to the demigod in this area: the Aedes Aemiliana Herculis. Current scholarship identifies this temple with a building destroyed under the papacy of Sixtus IV (1471–1484). An unpublished letter written by Leonardo Agostini to Leopoldo de’ Medici on 27 February 1666 along with closer examination of Renaissance written sources suggests that this temple stood in the area in the proximity of Via S. Giovanni Decollato and not in the area of the granary of Ottavio Gracchi as previously believed. It is also clear that the Neapolitan architect Pirro Ligorio mistakenly attributed to this temple the architectural decoration of the Basilica Aemilia in the Forum Romanum, misleading modern scholars.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
