CASTRA (URBANA)
barracks constructed by Aurelian in
campo Agrippae
(Chron. 148; Not. Reg. VII), and spoken of in connection
with his
temple of Sol. Although urbana is not found in either
source, it is
probable that these castra were those of the cohortes
urbanae, previously
quartered in the castra Praetoria (Sym.
Ep. ix. 57;
Dig.
xlviii. 5, 16 (15) 3;
CIL vi. 1156). They were probably close to the
FORUM
SUARIUM (q.v.),
somewhat north of the campus Agrippae, and just east of
the temple of
Sol. Cf.

BC 1915, 176, 346 (a dedication
by the tenth
cohors urbana Antoniniana to Caracalla ?);
