PORTICUS POST SPEI

believed to have been built in 179 B.C. by the censor M. Fulvius Nobilior, at the same time as the porticus extra portam Trigeminam and the porticus post Navalia (Liv. xl. 51. 6; HJ 509). It would have extended from the Tiber to the temple of APOLLO MEDICUS (q.v.), probably across the area afterwards occupied by the theatre of Marcellus; but its very existence depends on an alteration of the reading in the passage cited above (see also NAVALIA).
