Function
Vicus Tuscus was frequently used as an important path of communication between the Roman Forum and the forum Boarium and circus Maximus. When Romans conducted a sacrificial rite to their gods, two white cows were led through Vicus Tuscus and Velabrum via the forum Boarium, to arrive at the Temple of Juno Regina on the Aventine Hill.
During the Roman Games, the Vicus Tuscus was a route for processions. Statues of gods on wagons were paraded through here from the Capitol to the Circus Maximus.
