Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, FORUM TAURI (search)
terature; Add Marcell. comes Chron. a. 447: Saxa quoque ingentia in forum Tauri dudum super sese in aedificio posita ... collapsa sunt. to the forum in connection with the martyrdom of S. Bibiana (Catalogus codd. hagiograph. Paris, Brussels 1889, i. 522; BC loc. cit.); and to the caput here and also elsewhere (Acta S. Bib. in cod. Vat. 5696 (cf. Jord. ii. 319; HJ 369); LPD i. 127, 258). The forum was therefore probably near S. Bibiana, while the caput Tauri extended some distance around it, and was perhaps separated from the horti Tauriani (CIL vi. 29771) by the via Tiburtina vetus. It is not to be confused with the locality known as AD TAURUM (q.v.) near the thermae Traianae. It is also possible that L. Statilius Taurus, consul in 44 A.D., who owned the horti, constructed the forum and adorned it with bulls' heads, which in turn gave the name to the surrounding region. The porta S. Lorenzo was called porta Taurina in the twelfth century and later (Urlichs, pp. 115, 127-130, 150).

HORTI TAURIANI gardens of M. Statilius Taurus, consul in 44 A.D., who was forced to commit suicide in 53 by Agrippina because she coveted them (Tac. Ann. xii. 59). They were on the Esquiline adjacent to the horti Calyclani (CIL vi. 29771 ; cf. HORTI CALYCLANI and FORUM TAURI).
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, SEP. STATILIORUM (search)
SEP. STATILIORUM the columbarium of the slaves and freedmen of the Statilii, and in particular of M. Statilius Taurus, consul in 44 A.D. and owner of the HORTI TAURIANI (q.v.). It was on the north side of the via Praenestina, about 100 metres inside the porta Praenestina (Maggiore), on the south-west side of the modern Viale Principessa Margherita. The name has recently been changed to Viale Principe di Piemonte. Three chambers of this tomb were excavated in 1875-1877, and many inscriptions discovered which dated from Augustus to Claudius (CIL vi. 6213-6640 and p.982; Brizio, Pitture e sepolcri scoperte sull' Esquilino, Roma 1876; NS 1877, 314-323; HJ 363; for other inscriptions found in adjacent sepulchral chambers, see BC 1880, 51-75 ; CIL vi. 33083-33190).
