AUGUSTUS, DOMUS (2)

PANTHEON
a temple which, with the thermae, Stagnum and Euripus,
made up the remarkable group of buildings which Agrippa erected in
the campus Martius. According to the inscription on the frieze of the
pronaos (CIL vi. 896: M. Agrippa L. f. cos. tertium. Fecit The bronze letters are modern: see CIL vi. p. 3073, No. 31196.
) the temple
was built in 27 B.C., but Cassius Dio states that it was finished in 25

PONS CESTIUS

PONS CESTIUS
the modern Ponte S. Bartolomeo, the first stone bridge
from the island to the right bank of the river. It is mentioned only
in Not. app. and Pol. Silv. (545), but probably was built soon after the
pons Fabricius. Several Cestii of some prominence are known in this
period, and the bridge was probably constructed by one of them, while
curator viarum, between 62 and 27 B.C.
In the fourth century the pons Cestius was replaced by what was
practically a new structure, which the Emperors Valentinian I, Valens
and Gratian finished in 369 (Sym. Pan. in Grat. p. 332) and dedicated
in 370 as the pons Gratiani. There were two inscriptions recording
this event, each in duplicate, the first cut on marble slabs placed on the
parapet on each side of the bridge, the second beneath the parapet
(CILvi. 1175, 1176). One of the former So also are both the latter (cf. ib. 31250, 31251).

PORTICUS OCTAVIAE

PORTICUS OCTAVIAE
* built ostensibly by Octavia, the sister of Augustus
(Fest. 178; Ov. AA i. 69), but really by Augustus and dedicated in the
name of Octavia (Suet. Aug. 29; Cass. Dio xlix. 43; Liv. Ep. 138) at
some time after 27 B.C. (cf. Vitr. iii 2. 5), in place of the PORTICUS METELLI
(q.v.; Veil. i. I ) around the temples of Jupiter Stator and Juno (Plin.
NH xxxvi. 42). The statement of Cassius Dio that it was built after 33 B.C.
from the spoils of the war in Dalmatia, is due to confusion with the
porticus Octavia. It was burned in 80 A.D. (Cass. Dio lxvi. 24) and
restored, probably by Domitian, and again after a second fire in 203 by
Severus and Caracalla (CIL vi. 1034). It was adorned with foreign
marble (Ov. AA i. 70), and contained many famous works of art (Plin. NH
xxxiv. 31; xxxv. 114, 139; xxxvi. 15, 22, 24, 28, 34, 35; cf. Neapolis
ii. 234 n.). Besides the TEMPLES (q.v.) there were within the enclosure
a BIBLIOTHECA (q.v.) erected by Octavia in memory of the youthful

VIA FLAMINIA

VIA FLAMINIA
* (Not. app.; Eins. 4. 10): constructed in 220 B.C. during
the censorship of C. Flaminius (Liv. Epit. xx.; Strabo v. 217 wrongly
ascribes it to C. Flaminius the younger) from Rome to Ariminum. Its
importance led to its having a special curator as early as 65 B.C. (Cic.
ad Att. i. I. 2), and it was restored by Augustus himself in 27 B.C. (Mon.
Anc. iv. 19; Suet. Aug. 30; Cass. Dio liii. 22; Cohen, Aug. 229-235,
541-544=BM. Aug. 79-81, 432-436). It was a much frequented road
(Strabo v. 227; Tac. Hist. i. 86; ii. 64), and the four silver cups of about
the time of Trajan, found at Vicarello, on which is the itinerary by land
from Rome to Gades, prove this (CIL xi. 3281-3284). Cf. Hist. Aug.
Maximin. 25. 2.
The road gave its name to one of the districts of Italy as early as the
second century A.D. We have epigraphic testimony of the importance
of the traffic on it (praef. vehiculorum a copis Aug. per viam Flaminiam
