ἈΦΡΔΙΣΙΟΝ:

apparently a shrine of Venus on the Palatine, mentioned only once, under date of 193 A.D. (Cass. Dio lxxiv. 3. I: τὸν θάλαμον ἐν τῷ Ἀφροδισίῳ τῷ κατὰ τὸ Παλάτιον ὄντι παρεσκεύασεν. It is possible, but not very probable, that the name Venus Palatina, given in jest to L. Crassus (Plin. NH xxxvi. 7) may be based on the existence of this shrine (HJ 46; Gilb. iii. 430).
