ARA PACIS AUGUSTAE
* an altar erected by the senate in honour of the
victorious return of Augustus from Spain and Gaul in 13 B.C., on which
the magistrates, priests and Vestals should offer annual sacrifices (Mon. Anc.
ii. 39-41 (Lat.): [Cu]m ex H[ispa]nia Gal[liaque rebus in his p]rovincis

V[est]a[les anniversarium sacrific]ium facer[e iussit]; ib. vi. 20-vii. 4
(Grk.)). The decree of the senate was dated 4th July, 13 B.C. (Fast. Amit.
ad iv non. Iul., CIL i 2. p. 244, 320: feriae ex s.c. quo[d eo] die ara Pacis

THEATRUM BALBI
a stone theatre built by L. Cornelius Balbus the
younger (RE iv. 1270), and dedicated in 13 B.C. (Cass. Dio liv. 25; Suet.
Aug. 29). It was injured by fire during the reign of Titus (Cass. Dio
lxvi. 24) and restored, probably by Domitian: Ausonius speaks of it
as still in use (Lud. septem sap. 40), and it is mentioned in Not. (Reg. IX).
It had 11510o loca, or room for about 7700 spectators (BC 1894, 320).
Four small columns of onyx, set up by Balbus in his theatre, were regarded
at that time as very wonderful (Plin. NH xxxvi. 60). The location of
this building near the Tiber, directly north of the upper end of the island,
is indicated by the slight elevation known in the Middle Ages as the
Monte dei Cenci. It occupied part at least of the ground covered by the
Palazzo Cenci, the buildings between it and the Via Arenula, and the
Piazza Cenci. The curve of the cavea was nearly tangent to the Via
Arenula, and its main axis ran northwest-southeast. The theatre is
