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).
