Livy (X.23.6.) mentions it in relation to the dedication of an altar to Pudicitia Plebeia in 296 BC - he reports that there were shrines on it to Febris and Fortuna. Its name is confirmed by two imperial-era inscriptions (CIL VI, 9736, CIL VI 10023). A long stretch of the street's end was destroyed to build the Baths of Diocletian.
