ganisation of the Middle Ages. From the Regionary Catalogue it is possible to determine with some precision, in most cases, the limits of these regions in the fourth century, but it is a different matter to do this for the Augustan division, inasmuch as it is certain that the outer boundaries at least had been extended at some poid in Region V until after the time of Vespasian. The boundary was about 300-400 metres beyond the Aurelian wall on the south (Mitt. 1896, 122-130), but in the fourth century coincided with it from a point south of the via Labicana to the south side of the castra Praetoria. VI, Alta Semita, so called from a street that followed thee porta Viminalis and the porta Collina, and extended far enough west to take in the horti Sallustiani, and north beyond the line of the Aurelian wall. In the fourth century, after the castra Praetoria had been made a part of the city, the boundary of this region coincided with the Aurelian wall from the porta Salaria south round

It was struck by lightning in 276 and 206 B.C. (Oros. iv. 4. I; Liv. xxviii. II. 4; cf. also Obseq. 12, 43 These prodigies chronicled by Obsequens belong respectively to 166 B.C. (lightning), and 104 B.C. (a swarm of bees). ), and burned in the reign of Claudius (Plin. NH xxxv. 19), but afterwards restored, for it was standing in the fourth century (Not. Reg. VI). In it was a statue of Cato, set up by the senate in his honour (Plut. Cat. mai. 19:nao\s th=s (*ygiei/as). The temple of Bubulcus was decorated with frescoes which, in spite of the injuries of 276 and 206 B.C., were preserved until the building was burned in the time of Claudius (Plin. loc. cit.). These frescoes were said to have been painted by a member of the gens Fabia, a C. Fabius who signed his name to his work, and won for himself and his family the cognomen Pictor

tolinus from the temple to the Capitolium (Liv. xli. 27. 7). In 42 B.C. the temple was rebuilt by L. Munatius Plancus (Suet. Aug. 29; CIL vi. 1316; x. 6087). It is mentioned incidentally in 16 A.D. (Tac. Ann. ii. 41), and at some time in the fourth century it was injured by fire and restored by vote of the senate, as recorded in the inscription on the architrave (CIL vi. 937). It is represented on three fragments of the Marble Plan (22, 23, 30), and is mentioned in Reg. (Not. Reg. VIII). Througg the cornice to the Augustan period, on the analogy of several other cornices (T. Divi Iuli, Magnae Matris, Regia, etc.). The architrave blocks with the palmette frieze belowthem belong to the forum of Trajan,whence theywere removed for the fourth century restoration (ibid. 62-66). The front columns are of grey and those on the sides of red granite, while the entablature is of white marble. The columns are 11 metres in height and 1.43 in diameter at the base; but in some of them the drums that

o, consul in 259 B.C., was broken and its inscribed lid removed, but the final excavation of the monument was carried out in 1780 (Piranesi e Visconti, Monumenti degli Scipioni, Roma 1785 =Visconti, Opere varie, Milan 1827, i. 1-70; Nibby, Roma Antica, ii. 561-575). Many of the sarcophagi were then broken and their contents scattered (CIL i². pp. 373-375), though Hilsen, to whom the description of the tomb in CIL cit. is due, considers that much of the damage had already been done in the fourth century; but one, that of L. Scipio Barbatus, consul in 298 B.C., and apparently the first to be buried there, was preserved and is now in the Vatican, together with portions of several others and their original inscriptions. These inscriptions (CIL 12. 6-16=vi. 1284-1294) record the burial of eight members of the family, from Barbatus (vid. sup.) to Paulla Cornelia, wife of a certain Hispallus of unknown date but probably later than 150 B.C. (RE iv. 1600, No. 445). Some of them are written in

ii. 94: ipse sola perdendi cura stabula aurigis extruere). To these four, distinguished by their colours, albata, russea, prasina, veneta, Domitian added two more, purpurea, aurata, but these did not last long, and about the beginning of the fourth century two, albata and russea, were merged in the veneta and prasina (RE vi. 1954-1957, and literature there cited). Cf. also Leclercq in Cabrol. Diet. i. 531; iii. 2097; Friedlander, Sittengesch. iil. 34. The Notitia gives their number in the foufourth century as eight, and the Curiosum as six, which is therefore correct. These stabula were in the southern part of the campus Martius, near the circus Flaminius in Region IX. They were probably near each other but quite separate, and although the others are often mentioned in literature and inscriptions (CIL vi. 10045, 10047-105, 1000055, 10057, 10059-10060, 00062, 10063, 00065, 10069, 10071-00074, 10076, 10077) that of the factio prasina is the only one that can be approximately located.

. 146; Hieron. ad a. Abr. 20o5; Not. Reg. IX). After the Colosseum was injured by fire in 217, it was used for several years for gladiatorial combats (Cass. Dio lxxviii. 25). Its arcades were occupied by brothels (Hist. Aug. Elag. 26) as were those of the circus Maximus. The stadium was restored by Alexander Severus (id. Alex. 24), and hence was sometimes called in the Middle Ages circus Alexandri (Ordo Bened. 143). Mabillon.ap. Jord. ii. 665 =Lib. Cens. Fabre-Duchesne, ii. 154. In the fourth century it was one of the buildings that are said to have aroused the special admiration of Constantius (Amm. Marcell. xvi. 10. 14). It had 30088 loca (Cur.), that is, seats for about 15,000 spectators (HJ 593). According to the legend, S. Agnes met a martyr's death in the brothels in the arcades of this stadium, and in her honour a church was built in the ninth century in the middle of the cavea on the west side, which was afterwards known as S. Agnese in Agone or de Cryptis Agonis (Arm. 383-3
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, STAGNUM AGRIPPAE (search)
STAGNUM AGRIPPAE an artificial pool of considerable size, constructed by Agrippa by the side of his THERMAE (q.v.), with which and the HORTI (q.v.) it formed one whole (Ovid, ex Ponto i. 8. 37-38; Strabo xiii. I. 19 (590)). This stagnum was fed by the aqua Virgo, which Agrippa finished in 19 B.C., and was probably connected with the Tiber by the EURIPUS (q.v.). It was almost certainly on the west side of the thermae, north of the present Corso Vittorio Emanuele, and between the Via di Monterone and the Via dei Sediari, an area afterwards partly occupied by the PORTICUS BONI EVENTUS (q.v.) of the fourth century (HJ 580; Hulsen, Thermen des Agrippa, 32-33; Gilb. iii. 293-294).
Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, STATIO ANNONAE (search)
STATIO ANNONAE the headquarters of the praefectus annonae, who was charged with the administration of the food supply of the city of Rome. In the fourth century A.D. a structure was erected in front of the temple of HERCULES POMPEIANUS (?) (q.v.)-a rectangular porticus, some 30 metres long and 15 wide, with columns supporting arches on three sides and a brick wall at the back. Traces of what may have been another hall connected with it have been found to the north-east. The discovery of various inscriptions connected with the annona (CIL vi. 1151, 31856; xv. 7941-7951) in the neighbourhood CIL vi. xx15 was found in front of the church, 31856 in the Tiber; and all the rest in or near it (except perhaps xv. 7944, 7947), as also a considerable number of the lead seals published ibid. xv. 7952-7999, which were affixed to the cords of bales of imported goods. and of an inscription of the older Symmachus on the opposite bank of the Tiber (NS 1886, 362; BC 1887, 16; cf.

DE TEGLATU an unknown locality, mentioned only in two inscriptions of the fourth century (CIL vi. 10099=318gg; 31893 b, 2; BC 1891, 357), possibly a centre for the manufacture or sale of tegulae.
