Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, ARCUS M. AURELII (search)
ARCUS M. AURELII an arch erected in commemoration of the victory of Marcus Aurelius over the Germans and Sarmatians in 176 A.D., according to an inscription (CIL vi. 1014) that was seen and copied by the compiler of the Einsiedeln Itinerary. This arch probably spanned the CLIVUS ARGENTARIUS (q.v.) at its junction with the via Lata, and is that referred to in a forged bull The description of the boundaries of the parish of SS. Apostoli, which the bull purports to give, is taken from a bull of Lucius III of 1183 (Kehr, Italia Pontificia i. 72-73). of John III (Jord. ii. 669) as arcus Argentariorum, and in the Mirabilia (ch. 5) as arcus Panis Aurei in Capitolio (PBS iii. 252-253 ; Jord. i. 2. 214).

the statue of Apollo represented on them may be taken from the Apollo Actius in the temple on the Palatine (SScR 235, n. 18). (4) The eight rectangular reliefs in the attic (PBS iii. 251-268). Three other reliefs of the same series Sieveking, however (op. cit. 34), assigns these three to a different (and rather earlier) arch of the same emperor; cf. also Mon. Piot. xvii. (1910) 229-250. are in the Palazzo dei Conservatori (Cons. Cat. Scala ii. 4, 7, 10), and belong to an arch erected in 176 A.D. to commemorate the victories of M. Aurelius in the Sarmatian and German wars. They depict the emperor entering Rome, engaging in sacrifice, receiving an address from his soldiers, etc. To the Constantinian period belong: the reliefs on the pedestals of the eight columns, representing victories, legionaries and captives, the low frieze above the side arches and at the ends, the two round medallions at the ends, representing the setting of the moon and the rising of the sun (Strong, Sculpture

TANUS, TEMPLUM This sanctuary was erected on the Janiculum, on the site of the LUCUS FURRINAE (q.v.), probably in the latter half of the first century A.D. Scanty traces of it have been found. More considerable remains of an edifice erected in 176 A.D. were also discovered, but only about one quarter of it has been cleared. It consisted, like the first, of an open square temenos, oriented on the points of the compass, and divided into four equal compartments by two transverse lines of amphorae (IG xiv. 1512; CIL vi. 32316), where he is mentioned as ki/stiber and asdei/pnois krei/vas polla\ met) eu)frosu/nhs. A slab (mensa) with a dedication to Iuppiter Heliopolitanus pro salute et reditu, et Victoria of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus (176 A.D., contemporary with the Antonine column and recording the same victories) erected by the same Gaionas, was found used as building material in the fourth century temple, as well as another undated dedication. And, agreeably to this, one of the rec

Po'llio, Vitra'sius 4. Lived in the reign of M. Aurelius, and was consul the second time in A. D. 176 with M. Flavius Aper. The year of his first consulship is not recorded. (Lamprid. Commod. 2; Fasti.) The Senatusconsultum Vitrasianum, of which mention is made in the Digest (40. tit. 5. s. 30.6), was probably passed during one of the consulships of Vitrasius Pollio. This Pollio was perhaps the great-grandson of No. 1. The Vitrasia Faustina slain by Commodus was probably his daughter. (Lamprid. Commod. 4.)

Pompeia'nus, Tib. Clau'dius the son of a Roman knight originally from Antioch, rose to the highest dignities under M. Aurelius. He was one of the legates despatched to oppose the barbarian Kelts from beyond the Rhine, when they threatened to burst into Italy [PERTINAX] : he stands in the Fasti as consul for A. D. 173. was suffectus phrollably in A. D. 176, and received in marriage Lucilla, the daughter of the emperor, before the regular period of mourning for her first husband L. Verus had expired. He was one of the trusty cousellors to whose charge the youthful Commodus was consigned, and one of the few who escaped the cruel persecution of that brutal savage, although he openly refused to countenance his follies, or to pander to his vices. During this unhappy period he passed his time chiefly in the country, excusing himself from appearing in public on account of age and weakness of sight. Pertinax, who had served under his command, treated him with the greatest distinction, and Did
