The Sacred Way was used by the triumphant warlords on their return from their military campaigns. They all went down that road, followed by their troops. The Sacred Way led up the Capitol to the temple of the Capitoline Triad. To the west is the Lapis Niger, a stele fenced in because it is considered harmful. Legend has it that Romulus was killed here. Engraved on the stele, we read (from right to left) the oldest known Latin text (6th century BC). Under the Lapis Niger, an underground altar, perhaps an archaic temple dedicated to Vulcan.
