XENODOCHIUM BELISARII

a hospital built by Belisarius in the sixth century in the via Lata (LP lxi (Vigilius) 2: fecit autem Belisarius xenodochium in via Lata et aliud in via Flaminia). Its site is that of the church of S. Maria in Sinodochio or in Trivio, near the fountain of Trevi (Arm. 277-286; HCh 365-366; LPD i. 300, n. 7, ii. 46, n. 108; Kehr i. 156). This lies within the limits of the CAMPUS AGRIPPAE (q.v.), but the fourth-century walls found there cannot have been those con- structed for the xenodochium (HJ 459; BC 1892, 278).
