TRANSFER FROM FIUMICINO AIRPORT TO ROME CITY CENTRE – THE BOARIUM FORUM, THE MOUTH OF TRUTH AND THE LEGEND OF THE BIRTH OF ROME
Piazza Bocca della Verità today corresponds to the site of the ancient boarium forum, the plain near the Tiber where the ox market took place. In the square is the important basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, which arose as a diaconia in the 7th century and is currently administered by monks of the Orthodox rite (in particular the Greek-Melchite “sui iuris” rite). Inside the basilica you can still see the colonnades of the Statio Annonae, or the portico where free distributions of grain to the plebs took place in the Republican era.
Under the gate of the portico is preserved the famous “mouth of truth”, the large circular sculpted stone from which the square takes its name.
The mysterious and disturbing mask represents the face of a screaming faun, and originally it could have been a manhole cover of the Cloaca Maxima that runs right here underground, or perhaps part of the well of the temple of Mercury, which stood here in the archaic age, where merchants came to swear or to purify themselves of their false oaths during negotiations. Perhaps from this ancient purifying use comes the legendary use that, in fact, was made of it in the Middle Ages.

In fact, people suspected of having lied were brought before the mask and induced to repeat their oath by inserting their hand into its wide open mouth. If they had told the truth, they would have withdrawn their hand from the stone mouth unharmed. If instead they had lied, the mouth of truth would have bitten and cut off the hand. It is said that sometimes the judges, when they were sure of the bad faith of the person being interrogated, had the executioner armed with a sword stationed behind the mask, so as to feed the legend with the reality of the facts.
For many centuries the Mouth of Truth diligently performed its task.
According to a tradition, the Mouth of Truth ceased to function the day it was deceived by a young and attractive woman. The woman, suspected by her husband of having an affair with another man, knowing that she had to tell the truth in front of the monstrous sculpture, had her lover disguised and placed him in the midst of the audience that was to attend the interrogation. When the time came, the man pretended to be crazy and, shouting like a madman, gesticulating and uttering nonsensical words, he pushed his way through the crowd, approached the woman, hugged her and kissed her, fleeing immediately after.

The beautiful and cunning girl could calmly swear before the Mouth of Truth that she had never been kissed by any other man than her husband and the poor madman who had attacked her shortly before. Obviously his hand was saved, but apparently the demonic entity hidden behind the mask, offended by the deception, crossed its arms forever, making the mouth of truth a harmless marble sculpture!
Now we cross the square until we reach Via del Velabro. Closed by a gate we find a large arch in front of us: the so-called “arch of Janus at the boarium forum”, in reality a quadriportico from the 4th century AD known from the sources of the Catalogues Regionarii as Arcus Constantini. Each side is decorated with two rows of niches with a shell-shaped apse, which originally housed statues. The tops of the arches are decorated with full-round figures of Rome and Juno, Minerva and Ceres. This is the place where one of the most extraordinary events in history took place, where everything began…
