SPINO

a brook in Rome, mentioned only once (Cic. de nat. deor. iii. 52:in augurum precatione Tiberinum, Spinonem, Almonem, Nodinum alia propinquorum fluminum nomina videmus), and sometimes identified with that which flowed down through the Subura, across the forum and Velabrum to the Tiber, and was afterwards converted into the cloaca Maxima (LA 230, pl. ii.; Mon. L. xv. 275; LR 29). This identification is arbitrary (cf. NODINUS).
