Vulcanal confusion

edit

There is confusion here (and at the Rostra article) regarding the location of the Vulcanal. The Rostra article says it was "Underneath the Lapis Niger", but my source (Grant, Michael (1970), The Roman Forum, London: Weidenfeld and Nicholson; Photos by Werner Forman, pg 214. — including a map, pg 44) — places it about 40 meters away (behind the New Rostra, built around the time of Julius Caesar's assassination). It may be that much older sources place it nearer the Lapis Niger. Valerius Tygart (talk) 19:33, 14 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
