ANTONINUS ET FAUSTINA, TEMPLUM
(search)
ANTONINUS ET FAUSTINA, TEMPLUM
the temple built by Antoninus Pius
on the north side of the Sacra via at the entrance to the forum, just
wast of the basilica Aemilia, in honour of his deified wife, the empress
Faustina, who died in 141 A.D. (Hist. Aug. Pius 6). After the death of
Antoninus himself in 161, the temple was dedicated to both together
(Hist. Aug. Pius 13). The inscription on the architrave records the
first dedication, and that added afterwards on the frieze records the
econd (CIL vi. 1005: divo Antonino et divae Faustinae ex s.c.). In
onsequence of this double dedication the proper name of the temple
was templum d. Antonini et d. Faustinae (so a fragment of the Fasti
if 213-236 A.D., CIL vi. 2001), but it was also called templum Faustinae
(Hist. Aug. Salon. I; Not. Reg. IV) and templum d. Pii (Hist. Aug. Carac. 4). It is represented on coins of Faustina (Cohen 2, Faustina senior, Nos. I, 64-71, 191-194, 253-255, 274).

Co'mmodus, L. Aurelius
son of M. Aurelius and the younger Faustina (see genealogical table prefixed to ANTONINUS PIUS), was born at Lanuvium on the last day of August, A. D. 161, a few months after the death of Antoninus Pius, and this was the first of the Roman emperors to whom the title of Porphyrogenitus could be correctly applied. Faustina at the same time gave birth to a twin son, known as Antoninus Geminus, who died when four years old.
The nurture and education of Commodus were watched and superintended from infancy with anxious care; and from a very early age he was surrounded with the most distinguished preceptors in the various departments of general literature, science, and philosophy.
The honours heaped upon the royal youth as he advanced towards manhood have been accurately chronicled by his biographers.
He received the appellation of Caesar along with his younger brother Annius Veras on the 12th of October, A. D. 166, at the time when M. Aurelius and L. Verus celebrated

Hermo'genes
6. One of the most celebrated Greek rhetoricians.
He was a son of Calippus and a native of Tarsus, and lived in the reign of the emperor M. Aurelius, A. D. 161-180.
He bore the surname of custh/r, that is, the scratcher or polisher, either with reference to his vehement temperament, or to the great polish which he strongly recommended as one of the principal requisites in a written composition.
He was, according to all accounts, a man endowed with extraordinary talents; for at the age of fifteen he had already acquired so great a reputation as an orator. that the emperor M. Amelius desired to hear him, and admired and richly rewarded him for his wonderful talent. Shortly after this he was appointed public teacher of rhetoric, and at the age of seventeen he began his career as a writer, which unfortunately did not last long, for at the age of twenty-five he fell into a mental debility, which rendered him entirely unfit for further literary and intellectual occupation, and

Marcellus Side'tes
a native of Side in Pamphylia, was born towards the end of the first century after Christ, and lived in the reigns of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius, A. D. 117-161.
Works
He wrote a long medical poem in Greek hexameter verse, consisting of forty-two books, which was held in such estimation, that it was ordered by the emperors to be placed in the public libraries at Rome. (Suid. s. v. *Ma/rkellos, and Kuster's note; Eudoc. Violar. apud Villoison, Anecd. Graeca, vol. i. p. 299.) Of this work only two fragments remain.
*Peri\ *Lukanqrw/pou, De Lycanthropia
The first fragment *Peri\ *Lukanqrw/pou, De Lycanthropia is preserved (but in prose) by Aetius (2.2, 11, p. 254; compare Paul. Aegin. 3.16, and Mr. Adams's note, vol. i. p. 390), and is curious and interesting.
*)Iatrika\ peri\ *)Ixqu/wn, De Remedis ex Piscibus.
The second fragment, *)Iatrika\ peri\ *)Ixqu/wn, De Remedis ex Piscibus, is less interesting, and consists of about 100 verses.

Mauricia'nus, Ju'nius
a Roman jurist, who wrote, according to the Florentine Index, six books, Ad Leges, by which is meant Ad Leg. Juliam et Papiam (Dig. 33. tit. 2. s. 23).
The passage just cited shows that he was writing this work in the time of Antoninus Pius (A. D. 138-161).
There is one passage in the Digest from the second book of Mauricianus De Poenis (2. tit. 13. s. 3), which work is not mentioned in the Florentine Index.
He also wrote notes on Julianus (2. tit. 14. s. 7.2; 7. tit. 1. s. 25.1), but in place of Mauricianus some manuscripts have Martianus or Marcianus in the two passages just cited. Mauricianus is sometimes cited by other jurists.
There are four excerpts from his writings in the Digest. [G.L]
