Amphitheatrum Neronis : a wooden structure, erected by Nero on the site
of that of Statilius Taurus (q.v.). It was finished in a year, but is spoken
of by Tacitus (Ann. xiii. 31) in such a way as to imply that it was not a
remarkable building (Suet. Nero 12; Plin. NH xvi. 200; xix. 24; Viet.
EP· 5· 3)·
Amphitheatrum Statilii Tauri : an amphitheatre built of stone by L.
Statilius Taurus in 29 b.c., probably in the southern part of the campus
Martius (Cass. Dio li. 23; Suet. Aug. 29; Cal. 18 j1 Tac. Ann. iii. 72;
Strabo, v. 3. 8, p. 236 ; CIL vi. 6226-6228). It was burned in 64 a.d.
(Cass. Dio lxii. 18), and Nero built another (q.v.) on the same site (FIJ
496 ; cf. 595, HCh 197 for the church of S. Angeli de domo Egidii a Poco,
not de Rota, as Lanciani (Forma 14) and Armellini 2 363 believed).
Anaglypha Traiani : see Rostra.
Anio Novus : * an aqueduct, which, like the aqua Claudia, was begun by
Caligula in 38 a.d. (Suet. Cal. 21) and completed in 52 a.d. by Claudius, who
dedicated them both on 1st August. The cost of the two was 350,000,000
sesterces, or £3,500,000 sterling (Plin. NH xxxvi. 122 ; Frontinus, de aquis,
1. 4, 13, 15, 18-21 ; ii. 68, 72, 73, 86, 90, 91, 93, 104, 105 ; Suet. Claud. 20 ;
1 Caligula is said to have looked upon it with scorn (Cass. Dio lix. 10), perhaps on
account of its small size.
