Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, CIRCUS MAXIMUS (search)
which to record the number of laps run in the races for the benefit of the spectators-an arrangement that became permanent (Varro, RR i. 2. II; Cassiod. Var. iii. 51. 10). In 55 B.C., at the dedication of the temple of Venus Victrix, Pompeius caused twenty elephants to fight in the circus, and they broke down the iron railing with which he had intended to protect the spectators (Plin. NH viii. 20, 21). More effective protection was afforded by the moat or euripus which Caesar constructed in 46 B.C. between the arena and the seats (Plin. loc. cit.; Suet. Caes. 39: circensibus spatio circi ab utraque parte producto et in gyrum euripo addito... venationes editae... quingenis peditibus elephantis vicenis tricenis equitibus hinc et inde commissis. nam quo laxius dimicaretur, sublatae metae inque earum locum bina castra exadversum constituta erant). This passage seems to mean that Caesar lengthened the circus and removed the goals temporarily, but does not justify the conclusion (HJ 123)
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, CODETA MINOR (search)
CODETA MINOR mentioned only once (Suet. Caes. 39) as that part of the campus Martius in which Caesar constructed a naumachia for his triumph in 46 B.C. It was perhaps just opposite the Codeta of Region XIV.

, and dedicated by him after 146 (Strabo viii. 6. 23, p. 381 (epOv ); Cass. Dio, frg. 76. 2 (*tuxai=on; cf. 1. 10. 2)). For the embellishment of this temple L. Mummius presented Lucullus with works of art that he had brought from Greece, and certain statues of the Muses by Praxiteles from Thespiae which stood in front of the temple (Cic. Verr. iv. 4, 126; Plin. NH xxxiv. 69; xxxvi. 39). It was in front of this temple that Caesar broke the axle of his chariot when celebrating his triumph in 46 B.C. (Cass. Dio xliii. 21), and it therefore lay on the line of the triumphal procession. In describing this accident Suetonius (Caes. 37) says, ' Velabrum praetervehens,' but we know no other details as to its site (Jord. i. 2. 486; DAP 2. vi. 262; Gilb. iii. 106, 107; RE vi. 2163; Rosch. i. 1473). It was burned early in the reign of Claudius and apparently not rebuilt. Pais (Fasti Triumph. ii. 481) wrongly maintains that it stood close to the first-mentioned temple (see VELABRUM for the misint

BC ii. 68-69, 102; iii. 28; Cass. Dio xliii. 22. 2), which thus became in effect a porticus surrounding the temple, a type followed in all the later fora. Temple and forum were dedicated on the last day of Caesar's great triumph, 26th September, 46 B.C. (Cass. Dio, loc. cit.; Fast. Arv. Pine. Vail. ad vi Kal. Oct., CIL i². p. 215,219, 240, 322-323, 330; Fast. Praen. in BC 1915, 170, 346), although the forum was not finished by Caesar (cf. Nic. Damasc. Caes. 22; Plin. NH xxxv. 156), but by Octav cf. Cass. Dio xlvii. 18. 4), was probably in the cella of the temple. See Weickert in Festschr. f. P. Arndt, 54-61, for the type as represented on a relief in the Villa Borghese (Reinach, Rep. iii. 171. i), which he assigns to the period before 46 B.C.; and cf. AJA 1927, 141-152. (For another type of Venus Genetrix (seated) on a coin, see BM. Rep. i. 583. 4277.) Caesar also placed in the temple two paintings by Timomachus, Ajax and Medea (Plin. vii. 126; xxxv. 26, 136); a gilded statue of Cle

Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, NAUMACHIA CAESARIS (search)
NAUMACHIA CAESARIS an artificial pond constructed by Julius Caesar in MINORE CODETA (q.v.) in the campus Martius for the sham naval conflicts that were part of the celebration of his fourfold triumph in 46 B.C. (Suet. Caes. 39; Cass. Dio xliii. 23; App. BC ii. 102). This basin was filled up in 43 B.C. in consequence of an epidemic in the city, and has left no trace (Suet. Caes. 44; Cass. Dio xlv. 17).

STADIUM CAESARIS a temporary stadium constructed by Caesar in the campus Martius for the athletic games which he celebrated in 46 B.C. (Suet. Caes. 39).

d from lust to purity (Ov. loc. cit.; Val. Max. viii. 15. 12). The day of dedication was 1st April (CIL i². p. 314; Ov. Fast. iv. 133 ff.; Lydus, loc. cit.; Macrob. i. 12. 15). Servius speaks of a fanum Veneris Verticordiae in the vallis Murciae (Aen. viii. 636), but seems to be confusing the shrine of this goddess with that of Venus Murcia. This may show that the former was near the latter; if not, there is no indication of its location. The statue of the goddess is shown in coins of about 46 B.C. of M. Cordius Rufus (BM. Rep. i. 523. 4037-9). About a century earlier Sulpicia (RE vii. 246), the wife of Q. Fulvius Flaccus, consul for the fourth time in 209 B.C., is said to have been selected, in accordance with the Sibylline books, as the most chaste woman in Rome, to dedicate a simulacrum to Venus Verticordia (Val. Max. viii. 15. 12; Plin. NH vii. 120; Solin. i. 126), but what relation this statue may have had to the later temple is not known (WR 290-291; Pr. Myth. i. 446; Gilb. iii
