BASILICA NEPTUNI
(search)
BASILICA NEPTUNI
a building restored by Hadrian (Hist.
Aug. 19), and
mentioned in Cur. in Region IX and in Pol. Silv. (545).
This basilica is now
generally, and properly, identified with the sto/a
*poseidw=nos built by
Agrippa in 25 B.C. (Cass. Dio liii. 27), and with the
*poseidw'nion that was
burned in the great fire in the reign of Titus (ib. lxvi. 24)
and stood
between the Pantheon and the Hadrianeum. By some it
has also been
identified with the PORTICUS ARGONAUTARUM
(q.v.), but it is probable
that they were separate structures, although near together
and possibly
adjoining (Lucas, Zur Geschichte der Neptunsbasilika,
Berlin 1904;
OJ 1912, 132-135).

PORTICUS ARGONAUTARUM
(search)
PORTICUS ARGONAUTARUM
built by Agrippa in 25 B.C. (Cass. Dio liii. 27),
probably near (or, as Hilsen thinks, enclosing) the temple of HADRIAN
(q.v.). It derived its name from the paintings on its walls of the adventures of the Argonauts, and seems to have been also called the porticus
Agrippiana (Schol. Iuv. vi. 54). Cassius Dio (loc. cit.) calls it stoa\ tou= poseidw=nos, and elsewhere (lxvi. 24) speaks of a *poseidw/nion, which is
probably the same building. It is sometimes identified with the BASILICA
NEPTUNI (q.v.), although both names occur in the Curiosum in Reg. IX.
It is possible that the porticus may have belonged to a temple of Neptune,
although *poseidw/nion does not necessarily refer to a temple, and there is
no other evidence for the existence of one in this region. This porticus
was one of the most frequented in Rome (Mart. ii. 14. 6; iii. 20. 11;
xi. I. 12; HJ 574; Lucas, Zur Geschichte der Neptunsbasilica in Rom,
Berlin 1904; OJ 1912, 132 ff.).
