M. TULLIUS CICERO, DOMUS

M. TULLIUS CICERO, DOMUS
on the north-east side of the Palatine hill, over-
looking the forum, in conspectu totius urbis (de domo 10 ; ef. 103,
114; pro Planeio 66; ad Att. ii. 24. 3; Plut. Cie. 8). Cieero bought
this house in 62 B.C. for HS. 3,500,000 (ad Fam. v. 6. 2 ; Gell. xii. 12)
from Marcus Crassus (not P. Crassus as stated in Ps. Sall. in Cic. 2;
Ps. Cie. in Sail. 14, 20). It adjoined the PORTICUS CATULI (q.v.), and
was built on the site previously occupied by the house of the tribune
M. Livius Drusus (Vell. ii. 14). When Cicero was banished, Clodius
burned his house, enlarged the porticus of Catulus, and erected a shrine
of Libertas (de domo 62, 16; App. BC ii. 15; Vell. ii. 45; Plut. Cie. 33;
Cass. Dio xxxviii. 17. 6). After Cicero's recall legal proceedings were
instituted, and he recovered the site, and damages sufficient to partially
rebuild the house (Cass. Dio xxxix. II and 20 ; adAtt. iv. I. 7, 2.5, 3.2).
The house afterwards belonged to L. Marcius Censorinus, cons

PONS CESTIUS

PONS CESTIUS
the modern Ponte S. Bartolomeo, the first stone bridge
from the island to the right bank of the river. It is mentioned only
in Not. app. and Pol. Silv. (545), but probably was built soon after the
pons Fabricius. Several Cestii of some prominence are known in this
period, and the bridge was probably constructed by one of them, while
curator viarum, between 62 and 27 B.C.
In the fourth century the pons Cestius was replaced by what was
practically a new structure, which the Emperors Valentinian I, Valens
and Gratian finished in 369 (Sym. Pan. in Grat. p. 332) and dedicated
in 370 as the pons Gratiani. There were two inscriptions recording
this event, each in duplicate, the first cut on marble slabs placed on the
parapet on each side of the bridge, the second beneath the parapet
(CILvi. 1175, 1176). One of the former So also are both the latter (cf. ib. 31250, 31251).
is still in situ. The pons Gratiani
was 48 metres long and 8.20 wide, with one central arch, 23.65 metre

PONS FABRICIUS

PONS FABRICIUS
the stone bridge between the left bank of the river and
the island, named from its builder, L. Fabricius, curator viarum in
62 B.C. (Hor. Sat. ii. 3.35-36; and Porphyr. ad loc.; Cass. Dio xxxvii. 45).
The erection of this bridge is recorded in duplicate inscriptions, over the
arches on each side, and a restoration in 21 B.C. after the flood of 23 B.C.
(Cass. Dio liii. 33) by the consuls, Q. Lepidus and M. Lollius, in another
inscription over the arch nearest the city (CIL ia. 751=vi. 1305=31594).
It is probable that this stone bridge replaced an earlier one of wood.
In the Middle Ages it was known both by its official name (Not. app.;
Pol. Silv. 545; Mirab. II) and as the pons Iudaeorum (Graphia 10)
because it was close to the Ghetto.
This is the best preserved bridge in Rome, being practically the
original structure. It is built of tufa and peperino faced with travertine,
part of which has been replaced with brick, and has two semi-circular
arches with a smaller o
