NEPTUNUS, ARA

an altar of Neptune in circo Flaminio, the sweating of which is mentioned by Livy (xxviii. I . 4) among the prodigia of 206 B.C. The same prodigium, however, is related by Cassius Dio (fr. lvii. 60) in words that imply a real temple (ἱδρῶτι πολλῷ αἵ τε θύραι τοῦ Ποσειδωνίου καὶ ὁ βωμὸς ἐρρύη), and it is probable that such a temple did exist at that time (see below).
