 Verrius Flaccus, Pliny and Tacitus state that a third tree stood in the Comitium near the statue of the augur Attus Navia who, legend says, split a wet stone with a razor in the Comitium and transferred the "Ficus ruminalis" or its sacred importance from the base of the Palatine hill to the assembly area.Scholars still refer to the "Ficus Navia" as the "Ficus Ruminalis" while excepting the difference.Livy reports that a statue to Publius Horatius Cocles was erected in the Comitium.
