User:Torquatus/Atrium sutorium

Atrium sutorium ("hall of the shoemakers") is the name of a building of ancient Rome connected with the ritual of the Tubilustrium.

The Atrium sutorium was the location in which the military trumpets (tubae) were purified for the upcoming season of campaigns, according to Varro

Richardson speculates that the Vicus Sandalarius ("street of the sandal-makers") is one possible location for the now-lost structure, given that both toponyms relate to shoes. A likely location for the Atrium sutorium is along the Argiletum, perhaps in a position later occupied by the Forum Transitorium.
