AUGUSTUS MONS
the name given to the Caelian hill by the senate in
27 A.D., in gratitude to Tiberius for his generosity in repairing the
ravages of a great fire on that hill, and in recognition of the miraculous
preservation of a statue of the emperor (Suet. Tib. 48; Tac.
Ann. iv. 64).
There is no record of the use of the name, and it probably did not survive
after the death of Tiberius even in official documents.
