AQUA ALEXANDRI(A)NA

AQUA ALEXANDRI(A)NA
* an aqueduct which takes its name from its con- structor, Alexander Severus (Hist. Aug. Alex. Sev. 25; cf. THERMAE NERONIANAE; Not. app., Pol. Silv. 545, 546). It seems to be referred to as forma Iovi in a document of 993 A.D. (Reg. Subl. No. 105, p. 151).
The springs were used by Sixtus V for the Acqua Felice (1585-7), but the whole course of the aqueduct was only identified in the seventeenth century by Fabretti (de aquis, Rome, 1680), whose accurate description of its interesting remains is followed by LA 380-393 ; LR 56. Its course from the third mile of the via Labicana towards the city is quite uncertain, and the 'nymphaeum Alexandri,' the so-called 'trofei di Mario,' is the terminal fountain of the AQUA IULIA (q.v.); though the piscina of the Vigna Conti, generally attributed to the THERMAE HELENIANAE (q.v.), may have belonged to it (LF 32). Cf. Jord. i. 1. 477-479; HJ 247-248, 350.

BASILICA MATIDIAE
mentioned in Reg. as in Region
IX and in Pol. Silv. (545). These halls were
undoubtedly near
the TEMPLUM MATIDIAE (q.v.), and from the
evidence of a medallion
of Hadrian (Eckhel vi. p. 472; Gnecchi ii. p. 5, No. 25, pl.
39, No. 5)
they seem to have stood on each side of the area in front
(north) of this
temple, a little back from the east and west sides of the
present Piazza
Capranica; while the domed building known as the
Tempio di Siepe
in the seventeenth century may have had a corresponding
building
opposite to it, each standing at the north end of one of
these two
basilicas, as Hulsen supposes. It cannot have given its
name to the
church of S. Stefano de Trullo, which was near the
Hadrianeum
(LS i. 132; HCh 485; BC 1883, 5-16; Mitt. 1899, 141-153;
HJ 575;
Hulsen in OJ 1912, 136-142; RA 134).

the tomb of the Sempronii, of the end of the republic,
situated just outside the porta Sanqualis, at the upper end of the present
Via Dataria. It was excavated in 1863 (Bull. d. Inst. 1864, 6), but the
inscription had been known in the seventeenth century (CIL vi. 26152).
The travertine facade on the clivus leading up to the gate had a plain
arched entrance into the sepulchral chamber, which was cut in the tufa
rock. The threshold was 2 metres above the pavement of the road, and
over the doorway was a decorated frieze and cornice (BC 1876, 126-127,
pi. xii.; HJ 403).
