p456 The entries on pp456‑503 of

Samuel Ball Platner (as completed and revised by Thomas Ashby):
A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome,
London: Oxford University Press, 1929.

Sacra Urbs, templum (so called): see Urbis Fanum.

pp457‑459 Sacra Via: see separate page.

pp460‑461 Saepta Julia: see separate page.

p462 Salinae: warehouses for the salt that was brought up the Tiber in boats and carried inland by the via Salaria — probably the earliest kind of traffic between Rome and the sea coast. They were situated on and adjacent to the site of the porta Trigemina (Solin. I.8; Frontinus, I.5; Liv. XXIV.47.15), probably outside this gate after it was built (cf. Plaut. Capt. 90; BC 1888, 84‑91 pass.; RE I A. 2078).

Salus, ara: see separate page.

Salus, aedes: see separate page.

Sigillaria: a quarter in Rome where the sigillaria, or small images used as presents on the last days of the Saturnalia (also called Sigillaria), were made and sold (Gell. II.3.5; V.4.1; Suet. Claud. 5;1 Nero 28.2; Dig. XXXII.102.1). Its location is unknown.

The Authors' Notes:

1 Cf. also ib. 16.4. Gellius refers to it also as a place where books were sold.
