The Curia Saliorum was located on the Palatine Hill. It was the meeting place for the Salii Palatini. The Salii were an ancient guild of priests dedicated to the service of Mars and the guardianship of the sacred shields, but they later branched out to serve other deities and were found all over Italy. In Rome, the Salii Palatini were located on the Palatine Hill and their festival season began in March.
