P. Q. L. CONCORD was reputed by the Romans in the number of their Goddesses as we finde in JUVENAL Cui colitur Pax atque Fides Concordia Virtus and had several Temples upon various occasions vowed and dedicated to her There arose a dangerous Feud which continued for some Years between the Senate and People of Rome whereupon Furius Camillus * Anno U.C. cccxxcvi turning himself to the Capitol desired of the Gods that he might speak and act that which might tend to the benefit of the Commonwealth and reconciliation of the two dissenting Parties and to that end vowed a Temple to CONCORD Wherefore having called the Senate after a long and various Debate upon certain Conditions brought the Senate and People to an Agreement Which Temple according to his Vow by a Decree of the Senate was erected and dedicated to CONCORD This is mention'd though obscurely in tabulis Capitolinis but plainly by OVID * Fastor Lib. i.

Manlius † Anno U.C. DXXXV upon a Mutiny of the Army under his Command and the Year after the Temple was erected and dedicated by M. and C. Atilius Regulus elected for that purpose So in the Sedition of Gracchus * Anno U.C. DCXXXII who encamped on the Aventine and refused the Conditions offered him by L. Opimius Consul the Consul immediately vowed a Temple to CONCORD and after his Victory over those seditions Conspirators dedicated it in Foro. Which did highly incense the Communalty who thought that CONCORD could not be founded on the Slaughter of their Fellow-Citizens and some of them adventured to add this Inscription to the Title of the Temple VECORDIAE OPUS AEDEM FACIT CONCORDIAE We finde mention of the like Temples in several Inscriptions collected by Gruter as in this D.N.
