Atrium sutorium ("hall of the shoemakers") is the name of a building of ancient Rome connected with the ritual of the Tubilustrium.[1]
The Atrium sutorium was the location in which the military trumpets (tubae) were purified for the upcoming season of campaigns, according to Varro [2]
Richardson speculates that the Vicus Sandalarius ("street of the sandal-makers") is one possible location for the now-lost structure, given that both toponyms relate to shoes.[1] A likely location for the Atrium sutorium is along the Argiletum, perhaps in a position later occupied by the Forum Transitorium.
