This site was used as a space for a cattle market and was situated between the Tiber River and the Capitoline, Palatine, and Aventine hills. Historically, this site has been associated with Hercules, who was said to have arrived at this location with oxen but was robbed of them by a giant named Cacus. He later killed the giant and was honored as a god by the Arcadians.
