===''Curiae Veteres''===
The ''Curiae Veteres'' was the earliest sanctuary of the thirty curiae. It is discussed by both [[Varro]] and by [[Tacitus]], who mentions it as one point of the [[Palatine Hill|Palatine]] [[pomerium]] of ''[[Roma quadrata]]''.<ref>Tac. ''Annales'' 12.24</ref> It is probable that this shrine was located at the northeast corner of the [[Palatine Hill]]. Its remains have likely been identified in excavations carried out by [[Clementina Panella]].<ref>C. Panella. "Curiae Veteres. Nuovi dati sulla frequentazione del santuario in età tardo-repubblicana." Scienze dell'antichità. Storia, archeologia, antropologia 25 Fasc.1, p. 41-71 (2019)</ref> As the Republic continued, the curiae grew too large to meet conveniently at the ''Curiae Veteres'', and a new meeting place, the ''Curiae Novae'', was constructed. A few of the curiae continued to meet at the ''Curiae Veteres'' due to specific religious obligations.<ref>''[[Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum|CIL]]'' VI.975</ref><ref>A.F. Ferrandes, 2013.
