Forum Vinarium

The Forum Vinarium was the wine forum venalium of early Ancient Rome, it was located in the area now of the quartiere Testaccio, between Aventine Hill and the Tiber.[1]

A series of inscriptions from outside the walls of Rome connects the Forum Vinarium to a group of money lenders (argentarii).[2][3]
