CASTRA RAVENNATIUM

* mentioned only in the Breviarium of the Regionary Catalogue, and in the Mirabilia (10), where they are said to have been on the right bank of the Tiber (cf. LP xvii. I). These barracks evidently were for the use of sailors from the imperial fleet at Ravenna (HJ 647; BC 1914, 391; DuP 58), who were detailed for special duty in the city. (Cf. CASTRA MISENATIUM.) The name was preserved in that of the church of S. Stephanus Rapignani near S. Crisogono (HCh 483).
