e that of a later restoration, and not of Regulus' temple (WR 122-123). In fact, we learn from Fast. Ant. ap. NS 1921, I I, that either this temple or that in the porticus Metelli was dedicated on 5th September; and, as Hemer. Urb. (cited below) associates that temple with that of luno Regina, the reference in Fast. Ant. may be taken to be to the temple now under discussion. Two inscriptions of the later empire (CL vi. 434, 435) probably belong to this temple, and it is mentioned in the fourth century (Not.). Just east of the arch of Titus, a site corresponding with the literary references, are ruins consisting of a large rectangular platform of concrete, on which are some enormous blocks of peperino and travertine (Hermes, 1885, 412). On this foundation the mediaeval turris Cartularia was built (for the explanation of this name, see Rend. dei Lincei 1912, 767-772; AJA 1913, 569), In brief, it derived its name not from the fact that it ever contained the papal archives, but from its p

the Marble Plan, that of Juno as hexastyle prostyle, and that of Jupiter as hexastyle and peripteral but with ten columns on a side instead of eleven, as Vitruvius says it had (see above). This discrepancy may perhaps be explained as due to some changes made by Augustus' restoration. Lugli (ZA 229) maintains that, like the porticus Octaviae, they were restored by Severus. The existing ruins of both temples are concealed for the most part by modern houses in the Via di S. Angelo in Pescheria, and consist chiefly of substructures and walls of travertine and of brickwork, with fragments of marble columns and entablature. Three fluted columns of white marble belonging to the temple of Juno, 12.50 metres in height and 1.25 in diameter, with Corinthian capitals and entablature, are visible in No. I of that street. Of the history of these temples after the fourth century, nothing is known (HJ 538-540; Rosch. ii. 684-686. Cf. also Bull. d. Inst. 1861, 241-245; Ann. d. Inst. 1868, 108-132).

, the day of dedication of the temple (templa) was the Ides of April. Josephus states (Ant. Iud. xix. 4. 3) that after the murder of Caligula in 41 A.D. the consuls summoned the senate ei)s to\ i(ero\n tou= nikhfo/rou *dio/s; and Cassius Dio (Ix. 35) mentions among the prodigies of 54 A.D. 17 h( au)to/matos tou= naou= tou= *dio\s tou= *nikai/ou a)/noicis. These all seem to refer to the same temple, presumably the same aedes Iovis Victoris that is mentioned as standing in Region X in the fourth century in the Notitia (Curiosum om. Victoris). If so, the temple was on the Palatine, but this depends solely on the Notitia (BC 1917, 84-92, where it is maintained to be of very early origin). Among the prodigies of 42 B.C. the striking of lightning e)s to\n tou= *nikai/ou *dio\s bwmo/nes is reported (Cass.

hole inner surface of the basin was lined with marble, and at the north-east and north-west corner of its pavement are the two springs by which it has always been fed. The east side of the basin was entirely changed by being built over in the fourth century, in order, apparently, to provide quarters for the STATIO AQUARUM (q.v.). An altar with representations of the Dioscuri and Helen (as Selene) with Jupiter at one end and Leda on the other, which was found in the basin, is probably Hadrianic (of a statue dedicated to Constantine on Ist March, 328, records the restoration of the statio at that time by the curator aquarum, Fl. Maesius Egnatius Lollianus. It is therefore probable that the statio occupied these rooms as offices in the fourth century, but how much earlier is not known. A statue of Aesculapius, another of Apollo (fifth century B.C.） and other sculptural remains, found in this precinct, lend some support to a theory that in the second and third centuries there was some sort
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, LACUS ORPHEI (search)
LACUS ORPHEI a fountain, named doubtless from a statue of Orpheus, on the Esquiline in Region V (Not. Cur), probably just outside the porta Esquilina (Mart. x. 19. 6-7). The inhabitants of this district seem to have been called Orfienses (CIL vi. 31893 d. 12: tabernarii Orfienses) in the fourth century (cf. LPD i. 171, 178 n. 13: domum in regione orfea intra urbem); and the name continued in use during the Middle Ages (cf. S. Biagio, This church never existed; see HCh 507, No. 17*. S. Lucia and S. Martino in Orfea, Arm. 201, 214, 218; HCh 306, 382). See Jord. ii. 127, 495; HJ 345; Gruppe in Rosch. s.v. Orpheus iii. 1194; Eisler, Orpheus the Fisher, 278, who (following Richter 308) makes it ' an artificial lake of circular shape surrounded by steps, so that the whole building resembled a theatre.' See also Eisler, Orphisch-Dionysische Mysteriengedanke in der Christlichen Antike (1925), 22 f., 188, 292. The position of the churches makes it impossible to identify it with the 'Tro
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, LUDUS AEMILIUS (search)
LUDUS AEMILIUS a training school for gladiators, which was flanked at least on one side by shops of workers in bronze (Hor. AP 32; Porphyrio, Acron, et comm. Cruq. ad loc.). Its location is unknown, but it may possibly have been built by the Triumvir Lepidus, or his son. By the fourth century (Porphyrio, loc. cit.) it had been transformed into a bath and was known as the balneum Polycleti. This name may have been given to the whole establishment from some sign representing the famous sculptor, that had been adopted by the bronze workers of the ludus (Hor. loc. cit.), or it may have been that of the owner of the baths (Jord. i. I. 413; Hermes 1875, 416-424; RE i. 593).

q.v.); but this has nothing to recommend it. Rivoira (RA 79-81) was unable to see anything above ground that showed the remotest indication of work of the time of Nero. It was transformed into the church of S. Stefano by Pope Simplicius (468-482); and restored with various changes by Theodore I (642-649) and Nicolas V (1453). Of the building of Nero the only remaining portions are the travertine foundations, part of the enclosure wall, and eight pilasters of the outer colonnade, but the fourth century structure was built on the original foundations and appears to have preserved in general the form of the original. It consisted of a two-storied circular colonnade, of twenty-two columns, which supported a domed roof. This was surrounded by an outer concentric colonnade of thirty-six columns, also two stories high. Outside of this was an ambulatory 10 metres wide, divided into eight segments by rows of columns (JRS 1919, 179). The alternate segments had no outer wall and therefore resemb

aen. ap. CIL i". p. 235, 314-315, cf. p. 251=vi. 32498; Fast. Ant. ap. NS 1921, 91) and celebrated in front of the temple (Cic. de har. resp. 24; cf. for site Ov. Fast. ii. 55; Mart. vii. 73. 3). It was burned in 111 B.C., when the statue of Quinta Cloelia within it was uninjured, restored by a Metellus, probably the consul of 110 B.C., burned again and restored by Augustus in 3 A.D. (Val. Max. i. 8. II; Obseq. 99; Ov. Fast. iv. 347-348; Mon. Anc. iv. 8), and was standing unharmed in the fourth century (Not. Reg. X). It is referred to incidentally under date of 38 B.C. (Cass. Dio xlviii. 43. 4), by Juvenal (ix. 23) as a place of assignation, and in the third century (Hist. Aug. Claud. 4; Aurel. I). The stone needle itself is described by a late writer (Arnob. adv. gentes vii. 49) as small and set in a silver statue of the goddess (cf. Herodianus ab exc. d. Marci i. II; Arnob. v. 5). It was perhaps removed by Elagabalus to his temple (q.v.) on the Palatine (Hist. Aug. Elag. 3; cf. LR 13

ems also to have shared this temple with her son (Macrob. Sat. i. 12. 19; Lydus, de mens. iv. 52-53; Mart. vii. 74. 5; Fast. Caer. loc. cit.). This temple may perhaps be represented on a coin of Marcus Aurelius (Cohen, Marc. Aur. 534; Baumeister, Denkmaler 1495 =Richter 180. ; Rosch. ii. 2803), with a podium of three steps, on which stand four herms in place of columns, supporting an architrave, and above this what looks like a curved pediment with animals and attributes of the god. The statue of Mercury stands between the herms. This apparently curved pediment (cf. Serv. Aen. ix. 406) is not necessarily so (Altm. 21-22), and in any case, if some temples of Mercury were round, all were not (Merlin, 363). If the coin represents the temple of Mercury, it may indicate a restoration by Marcus Aurelius (SHA 1910, 7. A, 7-9). It was standing in the fourth century (Not. Reg. XI; Mirab. 28), but no traces of it have been found (HJ 118-119; Rosch. ii. 2802-2804; Gilb. ii. 251-253; WR 304-305).
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, MINERVA, AEDES (search)
MINERVA, AEDES a temple on the Aventine, first mentioned as becoming the headquarters of the scribae and histriones during the second Punic war (Fest. 333). It was restored by Augustus (Mon. Anc. iv. 6=Greek x. 10, 11,nao\s )*aqhna=s; cf. RGDA 81; Rosch. ii. 664; Merlin 300-301), was standing in the fourth century (Not. Reg. XIII), and is represented on the Marble Plan (fr. 2) as peripteral hexastyle, about 22 metres wide and 45 long, with thirteen columns on each side. It seems to have been between the temples of LUNA and DIANA (q.v.; Oros. v. 12), probably near the intersection of the modern Vie di S. Sabina and S. Prisca (Merlin 103). The date of the foundation of this temple is not known. The day of dedication is given in some of the sources as the Quinquatrus, 19th March (Ov. Fast. iii. 812; Fest. 257; Fast. Praen. ad xiii Kal. Apr., CIL ia. p. 234; cf. Fast. Philoc. ib. 260, where the date is erroneously 21st March); in others as 19th June (Ov. Fast. vi. 728; Fast. Esq. Amit.
