ARCUS DOLABELLAE ET SILANI
on the Caelian, at the north corner of the
site of the castra Peregrina, erected in 10 A.D. by the consuls P. Cornelius
Dolabella and C. Iulius Silanus (
CIL vi. 1384). It is of travertine without
ornamentation, and is usually supposed to have been built to support a
branch of the aqua Marcia (not the rivus Herculaneus), and afterwards
to have been used by Nero in his extension of the aqua Claudia, the
arcus Neroniani (LA 312-313; HJ 234). Corroborative evidence for this
view is found in the similar construction and inscription of the
ARCUS LENTULI ET CRISPINI (
CIL vi. 1385) at the foot of the
AVENTINE (q.v.).
