Some writers have placed it on the south-western side of the Forum, near the Temple of Castor, others at the south-eastern end, near the Regia, and others at the north-western... corner. The strongest evidence certainly appears to point to the north-western part of the Forum. ^ That the Comitium was close to the Curia Hostilia there can be no doubt, for the statue of Attus Navius, the augur, stood in the Comitium on the steps to the left of the Curia, and the Curia and Comitium are placed together by Livy and Cicero.^ Now the Curia was on the north side of the Forum, for Pliny distinctly says that the hour of noon was proclaimed by the Consul's marshal when, standing in front of the Curia, he could see the sun between the Grc-ecostasis and Rostra ; and this is hardly possible except from the north-eastern side of the Forum or the north-western end.^ We are, therefore, certain that the Comitium, since it was close to the Curia, was also on the north-eastern side or at the north-western end.
