Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, COHORTIUM VIGILUM STATIONES (search)
VIII (Not.), but the inscriptions (CIL vi. 2984-92; 32757) are without topographical value. For a supposed excubitorium in the forum, see NS 1902, 96; BC 1902, 31; Atti 570: CIL vi. 3909. VII in Region XIV (Not.). No traces of the statio of this cohort have been found, but considerable remains of one of the excubitoria were discovered in 1866 at the monte de' Fiori, near the church of S. Crisogono. The building, which appears to have been originally a large private house, belongs to the second century with later additions, and on its walls are many graffiti (CIL vi. 2998-3091), dating from 215 to 245 A.D. and containing much information in regard to the organisation of the corps. The portion excavated consists of a central atrium with mosaic pavement and a hexagonal fountain, and adjacent apartments, among them a lararium and a balneum (Bull. d. Inst. 1867, 8-30; Ann. d. Inst. 1874, 111-163; cf. BC 1886, 266-269; LR 549; CIL vi. 2993-2997, 32751; Mau, Gesch. d. Wandmalerei, 461). Som

353-355). On the south-west of the Vigna Barberini lies the church of S. Bonaventura built over a large reservoir, which was supplied by a branch of the AQUA CLAUDIA (q.v.; see also ARCUS NERONIANI), and between it and the ' Stadium ' was a nymphaeum. Below the summit of the hill on the south-east slope are remains of private houses, attributable to the same general period. Inscriptions of slaves and freedmen, including a priest of Mithras, connected with the domus Augustiana, from the second century onwards, are published in CIL vi. 2271, 8640-52; cf. xv. 1860, 7246. For the representation of the domus Augustiana (Flavia) in the Marble Plan, see Hulsen in DAP 2. xi. I I I--20; and pls. ii., iii. Which, if any, of the paintings drawn by Bartoli and others (PBS vii. 1-62 and especially 33 sqq.; viii. 35 sqq.) in the course of the Farnese excavations belong to the buildings of the period of Domitian is a difficult question, as no remains of paintings are now visible and the records of

CARMINIA LIVIANA DIOTIMA, DOMUS c(larissima) femina. Her name occurs several times on a large lead pipe of the end of the second or beginning of the third century A.D., belonging to other owners also, P. Attius Pudens (Prosop. i. 181. 1132), T. Flavius Valerianus, C. Annius Laevonicus Maturinus (?), which was found between the porta Tiburtina and the porta Labicana in making the railway (CIL xv. 7424a ; LF 24). For her genealogy, see Pros. i. 305. 365.

T. FLAVIUS TIBERIANUS, DOMUS on the Esquiline, known only from a lead pipe, of the second century (CIL xv. 7453), that was found at the corner of the Via Mazzini and Via Napoleone III. The house seems to have belonged afterwards to M. Tuticius Capito.

FLAVIUS VEDIUS ANTONINUS c.v. , DOMUS on the Viminal, near the Ministero delle Finanze, known only from a lead pipe of the second or third century (CIL xv. 7456; but cf. Pros. ii. 77. 261).
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, IOHANNES ET PAULUS, DOMUS (search)
IOHANNES ET PAULUS, DOMUS * the house in which S. John and S. Paul (not the Apostles, but two officers who suffered martyrdom under Julian) were murdered, situated on the Caelian just south-west of the porticus Claudia, in the present Via di SS. Giovanni e Paolo (perhaps the CLIVUS SCAURI, q.v.), under the church of that name. The excavations show a private dwelling of the second century, enlarged and rebuilt in the third and fourth, in which, probably in the second half of the third century, a titulus was instituted (titulus Byzantis), while Pammachius founded the basilica at the end of the fourth century. The enlargement consisted for the most part in connecting two houses that had been separated by a narrow street. Upwards of thirty rooms have been opened up, among them a cavaedium, with five rows of three rooms each on the south side, bathrooms, storerooms and stairways. The discovery of an interesting Pagan painting with a marine scene in 1909 may be noticed. The house had thr

T. IULIUS FRUGI, DOMUS A fragment of a marble slab bearing his name (CIL vi. 31717) was found on the site of the Banca d'Italia, but it does not give sufficient warrant for the existence of his house here (HJ 420), inasmuch as, though found in the ruins of a private house of the second century A.D., the place had been used by marble workers in the Middle Ages and the inscription itself was found in a modern drain (BC 1886, 185; 1922, 7; RhM 1894, 386, n. I).

VIRIUS LUPUS IULIANUS, DOMUS on the western slope of the Quirinal, where ruins and inscriptions have been found in the Via dei Serpenti, near the Banca d'Italia (CIL vi. 31774; NS 1910, 420; 1911, 316; BC 1911, 202). Virius was legatus of Lycia and Pamphilia in the second century.

concrete, certainly after 1764, in which year one Radet wrote his name on the lintel of the door (CR cit.). The entire surface of the shaft is covered with reliefs, arranged on a spiral band, which varies in width from about go centimetres at the bottom to nearly 1.25 metre at the top. These reliefs represent the principal events in the campaigns of Trajan in Dacia between 101 and 106 A.D., and also form a complete encyclopedia of the organisation and equipment of the Roman army in the second century. The average height of the figures is 60 centimetres, and they were cut after the column had been erected, so that the joints of the blocks are almost entirely concealed. These reliefs were also coloured most brilliantly (Bull. d. Inst. 1833, 92; 1836, 39-41). So PI. 289: but both statements are open to question. Casts of these reliefs may be seen in the Lateran Museum, St. Germain near Paris, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington, London (for these reliefs, see Frdhner,
