Inter Falcarios "Among the Scythe Makers" of the Ianiculum

Salvete! Inter Falcarios is mentioned twice in Cicero, where the scythe-makers had their headquarters, although falcarius is defined in a late gloss as gladiator falcem gerens. Ianiculum is the long ridge on the right bank of the Tiber, running almost due north from a point opposite the Aventine to what is now called Monte Mario, a distance of about 5 kilometers. This was in the AGER VATICANUS, and was sometimes called Mons Vaticanus. It is separated from the plateau behind by a long depression, and is itself not entirely continuous, being partially broken on the south, west, and north-west of the Vatican by natural and artificial valleys. Virtual Rome's Ianiculum invites all discussion about ancient Roman sports and the provinces that held them within the Roman Empire. Welcome to Ianiculum's Inter Falcarios neighborhood!
