NAUMACHIA CAESARIS

an artificial pond constructed by Julius Caesar in MINORE CODETA (q.v.) in the campus Martius for the sham naval conflicts that were part of the celebration of his fourfold triumph in 46 B.C. (Suet. Caes. 39; Cass. Dio xliii. 23; App. BC ii. 102). This basin was filled up in 43 B.C. in consequence of an epidemic in the city, and has left no trace (Suet. Caes. 44; Cass. Dio xlv. 17).
