Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, ALFENIUS CEIONIUS IULIANUS KAMENIUS, DOMUS: (search)
ALFENIUS CEIONIUS IULIANUS KAMENIUS, DOMUS: on the Quirinal, south-east of the Palazzo Barberini, where its ruins were found (CIL vi. 1675 =31902; 31940; LF 16; BC 1884, 43; RhM 1894, 387). Alfenius was a prominent member of the anti-Christian party in the fourth century, and was accused of practising magic in 368 (Amm. Marc. xxviii. I. 27). It must have been his grandfather who was praefectus urbi in 333 A.D., ten years before his birth (Chron. Min. i. 68). He died in 385, and was buried near Fogliano, on the coast between Astura and Monte Circeo (Bull. d. Inst. 1884, 56-79; EE viii. 648, 650; cf. 899; Mel. 1905, 203-205).
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, CAECILII, DOMUS (search)
ILII, DOMUS According to the legend S. Caecilia was exposed for three days to the heat of the calidarium in the baths of the house of her family, during the persecution of M. Aurelius. Excavations under the church dedicated to her in Trastevere brought to light (in 1899-1900） considerable remains of Roman brick walls of the first half of the second century A.D., intermingled with still earlier (though not republican) structures in opus quadratum. There are also later walls (third and fourth century) with rough mosaic pavements. In one room are circular basins, for the fulling of cloth or for tanning (see CORARIA SEPTIMIANA and cf. Mau, Pompeii, 416). To the upper floor of the aneient building belongs the room heated with a hypocaust, now in the chapel on the right of the present church. The older basiliea was perhaps to the left of this. See BCr 1899, 261; 1900, 143, 265; NS 1900, 12-14, 230; Cosmos Catholicus iv. (1902), 648; Leclereq in Cabrol, Diet. ii. 2765; HJ 638-639; HCh
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, CAECINA DECIUS, DOMUS (search)
CAECINA DECIUS, DOMUS situated, according to the testimony of fourth century inscriptions (CIL vi. 1192; xv. 7420), on the south-west side of the Aventine, above the porta Lavernalis, near S. Alessio (LF 34; HJ 165).
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, IOHANNES ET PAULUS, DOMUS (search)
IOHANNES ET PAULUS, DOMUS * the house in which S. John and S. Paul (not the Apostles, but two officers who suffered martyrdom under Julian) were murdered, situated on the Caelian just south-west of the porticus Claudia, in the present Via di SS. Giovanni e Paolo (perhaps the CLIVUS SCAURI, q.v.), under the church of that name. The excavations show a private dwelling of the second century, enlarged and rebuilt in the third and fourth, in which, probably in the second half of the third century, a titulus was instituted (titulus Byzantis), while Pammachius founded the basilica at the end of the fourth century. The enlargement consisted for the most part in connecting two houses that had been separated by a narrow street. Upwards of thirty rooms have been opened up, among them a cavaedium, with five rows of three rooms each on the south side, bathrooms, storerooms and stairways. The discovery of an interesting Pagan painting with a marine scene in 1909 may be noticed. The house had thr
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, TITUS FLAVIUS VESPASIANUS, DOMUS (search)
TITUS FLAVIUS VESPASIANUS, DOMUS (1) mentioned once (possibly twice) (Plin. NH xxxvi. 37, in connection with the Laokoon; cf. xxxiv. 55). This house was probably part of the domus Aurea of Nero, occupied by Titus and adjacent to his baths (q.v.), and afterwards destroyed by Trajan to secure room for his thermae (LS ii. 222-228). (2) on the Quirinal next to the templum gentis Flaviae, and standing in the fourth century (Hist. Aug. xxx. tyr. 33)-if it be not an invention, on the basis of Suet. Dom. i. 5 (cf. GENS FLAVIA, TEMPLUM） as V. Domaszewski thinks (SHA 1916, 7. A, 10, 11)
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, VALERII, DOMUS (search)
VALERII, DOMUS (1) on the Caelian, on the site occupied now by the Ospedale dell' Addolorata, where many remains of pavements, frescoes, and works of art have been found (LS iii. 69; BC 1890, 288 ff.; 1902 145-163; NS 1902, 268, 356, 463, 509; 1903, 59, 92), and eleven inscriptions (CIL vi. 1684-1694; PT 292) relating to the family in the fourth century. This house was offered for sale in 404 A.D., but found no buyer on account of its magnificence, while six years later, after the sack of Rome by Alaric, it was sold for almost nothing (vit. S. Melaniae iun. in Anal. Boll. 8 (1889), 31 ff. c. 14). It seems to have been transformed into a hospital-Xenodochium Valeriorum or a Valeriis (Greg. Magn. reg. ix. 82; LPxcvi. 15 (Stephanus III); xcviii. 81 (Leo III) ; LPD i. 482, n. 26, 456, n. 4; ii. 46, n. IO8; Kehr, i. 43-44, 156; BC 1902, 150; Arm. 122-124; HJ 240; LR 347; Grisar, Geschichte Rorns i. 48-50). A little north of this site, in the villa Casali, were found other ruins a

s or Martial, but it was adopted by Greek writers, and became common after the first century (RE vi. 683). (B) the name of the fifth region of Augustus' city, which was entirely outside the line of the Servian wall, and therefore contained no part of the original Esquiliae. Of the republican Esquiliae, the Oppius fell in the third and the Cispius in the fourth region. It is not possible to determine the limits of this region in the Augustan period with certainty at all points, but in the fourth century its western boundary coincided with the Servian agger and wall from the porta Viminalis to a point just south of the temple of Isis, and from there appears to have run straight to the porta Asinaria. Thence it followed the Aurelian wall to the castra Praetoria, except between the amphitheatrum Castrense and the aqua Claudia, where it curved out some 200 metres. Its northern boundary was the street between the porta Viminalis and the gate in the Aurelian wall south of the castra Praetoria
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, FLORA, AEDES (search)
FLORA, AEDES a temple of Flora, built by the aediles Lucius and Marcus Publicius, in 240 So Veil. i. 14. 8 (acc. to CIL and HJ 118; WR makes it 24) ; Plin. NH xviii. 286 is the authority for the later date. The date of foundation is given as 28th April by Fast. Praen. (while Fast. Allif. (13th Aug.) refers to a restoration; see CIL i². p. 325) and the Floralia lasted from that date till 3rd May. or 238 B.C. (cf. BM. Rep. i. 469, n. 3); restored by Augustus, in part at least, and dedicated by Tiberius in 17 A.D. (Tac. Ann. ii. 49 ); and probably again restored in the fourth century by the younger Symniachus (Anth. Lat. iv. 112-114). It stood on the slope of the Aventine at the west end of the circus Maximus (Fast. Allif. ad Id. Aug.; cf. CIL xv. 7172), probably on the CLIVUS PUBLICIUS (q.v.), which was built by the same aediles (HJ 118; RE vi. 2748; Merlin 95, 30; cf. AD TO(N)SORES).
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, FLORA, TEMPLUM (search)
FLORA, TEMPLUM a temple of Flora on the slope of the Quirinal (Varro, LL v. 158; Mart. v. 22. 4; vi. 27; Vitr. vii. 9. 4), undoubtedly on the site previously occupied by an altar that was said to have been erected by Titus Titius to the Sabine Flora (Varro, LL v. 74). Nothing is known of the date of erection of this temple, or of its history, except that it was standing in the fourth century (Not. Reg. VI). The site is not certain, but we are told that a clivus led up to the CAPITOLIUM VETUS (q.v.) from it, and that it was not far from the temple of Quirinus. It is claimed that two sites conform to the statement, one outside the Servian wall at the foot of the Quirinal, near the Piazza Barberini, and the other just below the Capitolium vetus, between it and the street ad Malum Punicum, the modern Via delle Quattro Fontane (HJ 412; RE vi. 2747).

een in the gardens. This fact may have caused confusion in later writers, and Plutarch's topographical statements are frequently unreliable. The theory that Carvilius' temple may have been replaced by that of Tiberius is not supported by the language of Tacitus. There seems, therefore, to be no escape from assuming the existence of three temples near the first milestone and the gardens of Caesar, unless there is error in the sources. One at least of these temples was in existence in the fourth century (Not.), and in this neighbourhood many small votive offerings in bronze have been found (NS 1888, 229; Mitt. 1889, 290-291). The ruins of a concrete podium faced with peperino, with architectural fragments, which were found in 1861, may perhaps belong to the temple of Servius (BC 1884, 26-27; Ann. d. Inst. 1860, 415-418). For the discussion of these temples, and further literature, see HJ 644-645; Becker, Top. 478-480; Rosch. i. 1501-1502; RE vii. 16-18; WR 256- 257; Pr. Reg. 216; CIL i
