método loci
  32

Memoristic technique, mentioned by St. Augustine in confessions as Palace of Memory or imaginary place where memories are stored. Loci is the singular genitive of locus, place. He named it Cicero in De oratore, putting it into practice to remember his speeches to the Senate. This mnemonic strategy that associates the facts with a familiar place was attributed to the Greek poet Simonides de Ceos, author of the verses to the fallen in the Thermopylae. Simonides identified the bodies of the diners of a banquet after an earthquake for the place each occupied.
