CASTRA PRAETORIA
* the barracks of the praetorian
guard, built by Tiberius
at the instigation of Sejanus in 21-23 A.D. when these
troops were
quartered permanently within the city (Suet. Tib. 37; Tac.
Ann. iv. 2;
Cass. Dio lvii. 9. 6; Schol. Iuv. x. 95). They were in the
extreme north-
eastern part of Rome, just beyond the inhabited district
(Plin. NH iii. 67 ;
Suet. Nero 48; Not. Reg. VI), about 500 metres east of the
agger, on a
site that was one of the highest in Rome (59-60 metres
above sea-level),
and commanded both the city and the roads leading to the
east and
north-east. The camp was constructed on the usual Roman
model,
forming a rectangle 440 metres long and 380 wide, with
rounded corners.
The longer axis, the cardo maximus, ran nearly north and
south, and
at its ends, in the middle of the shorter sides, were the
porta praetoria
and the porta decumana. It is not certain, however,
whether the porta
praetoria was on the north side or the south (HJ 387-388
