ARCUS SEPTIMII SEVERI
* the arch erected in 203 A.D. in honour of Severus
and his sons Geta and Caracalla, at the north-west corner of the forum,
in front of the temple of Concord. This information is contained in the
dedicatory inscription (CIL vi. 1033; cf. 31230) on both sides of
the attic of the arch, which is still standing. The original bronze letters
of this inscription have disappeared, but their matrices remain, and it
can be seen that the name of Geta was chiselled away after his murder,
and the space filled up with additional titles of Severus and Caracalla.
The arch is triple and built of Pentelic marble on a foundation of
travertine, which was concealed by the flight of steps that formed the
approach to the arch from the forum side. Later, probably in the
fourth century, the level in front of the arch on this side was lowered,
the flight of steps lengthened, and the top of the foundation cut away
to provide for them (CR 1899, 233; Mitt. 1902, 21-22). The exposed

a temple of the Divi, that is, the deified emperors, on
the Palatine, mentioned three times in inscriptions of the Arvales as a
place of assembling (CIL vi. 32379, 145 A.D.; 2087; 2104, 218 A.D.;
DE i. 177), and probably referred to by Cassius Dio (lxxvi. 3: qewri/ais
toi=s e)v tw= *palati/w| h(/rwsi pepoihme/nais( 203 A.D.). This seems to have
been a new temple, which served for the collective worship of the divi
Augusti, after the observance of their separate cults began to fall into
disuse (HJ 81-82; WR 347; cf. Gilb. iii. 131-133).

presented by Septimius Severus to Cilo, his intimate
friend and praefectus urbi in 203 A.D. (Viet. Ep. 20. 6; Pros. ii. 45. 20).
It is mentioned in the Regionary Catalogue in Region XII, and on an
inseribed lead pipe (CIL xv. 7447) found near S. Balbina, on the
Aventine (Bull. d. Inst. 1859, 164; NS 1884, 223; BC 1916, 198).
Considerable remains of substructions, of an earlier date, however, still
exist on the way up to and under the monastery, while the church itself
was formed out of a rectangular hall of the house (Mon. L. i. 490).
A fragment (43, cf. 58) of the Marble Plan may also indicate this
house (LR 543; HJ 88 ; RE vi. 1767 ; ZA 279-280); Kirsch, Rem.
Titelkirehen, 94-96).

Geta, P. Septi'mius
a brother of Septimius Severus, after having held the offices of quaestor, praetor of Crete, and of Cyrene, was elevated to the consulship in A. D. 203, along with Plautianus [PLAUTIANUS], and appears at one time to have entertained hopes of being preferred to his nephews.
He is said to have revealed to the emperor with his dying breath the ambitious schemes of Plautianus, whom he hated, but no longer feared; and it is certain that from this period the influence of the favourite began to wane. (D. C. 76.2; Spartian. Sept. Sev. 8, 10, 14; Gruter, Corpus Inscripp. mxcix. 7.) [W.R]
