Vicus Jugarius

The Vicus Jugarius, or the Street of the Yoke-Makers, was an ancient street leading into the Roman Forum. The Vicus Jugarius was very old—perhaps even older than Rome itself. The Latin word jugarius can mean either "yoke" or "ridge". A spot on the road known as the Equimaelium perhaps recorded the leveling of the home of Spurius Maelius.
