ANTON(IN)IANA—ANTONINUS ET FAUSTINA 13
level. But the cippi of Augustus seem to make the length even greater
(8 kilometres against 63.7), and the line may have been shortened
in Frontinus’ day (i. 18). It was repaired by Q. Marcius Rex (see Aqua
Marcia), by Agrippa in 33 b.c., and by Augustus in 11-4 b.c. It acquired
the name of Vetus when the Anio Novus was built. Frontinus found the
amount of water at the intake to be 4398 quinariae, or 182,517 cubic
metres in 24 hours.
We have several cippi of Augustus, some of which, together with a
long stretch of its channel going northwards from the porta Esquilina,
have been found within the city (LF 17, 23, 32) ; the reckoning, as usual,
beginning from Rome (CIL vi. 1243 ; cf. 31558; xiv. 4079, 4080, 4083,
4084; BC 1899, 38 = EE ix. 968, 969; and No. 733, near Ponte Lupo,
unpublished) ; and also the inscription of an aquarius aquae Anionis
veteris castelli viae Latinae contra dracones (CIL vi. 2345, cf. 2344 = 8493 ;
LA 260).
The original subterranean channel has been found and destroyed just
inside the Porta Maggiore; the intrados was at 46.15 m. above sea-level,
(BC 1912, 228-232 ; NS. 1913, 7, 441). Less than two miles from the
city, a part of it was turned into the specus Octavianus (PBS iv. 15),
which reached the district of the Via Nova (q.v.) near the Horti Asiniani
(q.v.) (Frontinus, i. 21). The channel is believed to have been identified
at various points ; but the site of the via Nova is unfortunately quite
uncertain. Lanciani believes that it crossed the via Appia by the real (not
the so-called) Arch of Drusus, near the vicus Drusianus (see Aqua Drusia).
As a result of Frontinus’ reforms the turbid water of the Anio Vetus
was largely used for watering gardens and for the meaner uses of the city.

Livellazione, cited on Anio Novus, especially for its course outside Rome.
Anton(in)iana : *this word, in large letters, formed of tiles (CIL vi. 29843)
was seen in the fifteenth-seventeenth centuries near the Arcus Dolabellae
(q.v.), but to what it refers is doubtful (LA 373 ; JRS 1919, 186). See
also Castra peregrina.

Antoninus et Faustina, templum : the temple built by Antoninus Pius
on the north side of the Sacra via at the entrance to the forum, just
east of the basilica Aemilia, in honour of his deified wife, the empress
Faustina, who died in 141 a.d. (Hist. Aug. Pius 6). After the death of
Antoninus himself in 161, the temple was dedicated to both together
(Hist. Aug. Pius 13). The inscription on the architrave records the
first dedication, and that added afterwards on the frieze records the
second (CIL vi. 1005 : divo Antonino et divae Faustinae ex s.c.). In
consequence of this double dedication the proper name of the temple
was templum d. Antonini et d. Faustinae (so a fragment of the Fasti
of 213-236 a.d., CIL vi. 2001), but it was also called templum Faustinae
