 The house of Marcus Manlius Capitolinus, a patrician champion of the "plebs" who was convicted of seeking kingship, was torn down at this time and later became the site of the Temple of Juno Moneta.On the "Arx" was located the auguraculum, the open space where the augurs conducted the rituals that determined whether the gods approved of whatever undertaking was at hand, public business or military action.This auguraculum was the stone where the elected monarch, during the Roman Kingdom, was seated by the augurs with his face to the south.
