BALINEUM CLAUDIANUM—BALINEUM LUPI
69
Balineum Claudianum : inscribed on part of a marble epistyle (CIL vi.
29767) that was copied near S. Silvestro al Quirinale in the eighteenth
century and again in a house near the site of the baths of Constantine.
Other inscriptions relating to the patrician Claudii have been found in
this vicinity, so that the baths were probably here (HJ 420).
Balneum Claudii Etrusci : mentioned by Statius, who describes it in
silv. i. 5. Its situation is unknown ; but as it was supplied by the Anio
(Vetus or Novus) the aqua Marcia, and the aqua Virgo, it must have
been situated in the campus Martius, or at any rate low enough to be within
the range of distribution of the last-named aqueduct. Cf. Mart. vi. 42,
who describes it as luxuriously fitted up, and decorated with coloured
marbles, and in a very sunny situation.
Balineum Cotini : a name found only on a fragment (52) of the Marble
Plan.
Balneum Crispini : mentioned only in Persius (v. 126), with no indication
of location.
Balineum Dafnidis : mentioned in Reg. in Region IV. Whether this is
to be identified with the privatae balneae quae Daphnes appellantur
(Schol. ad Iuv. vii. 233) is uncertain. For the form of the name cf.
Balineum Ampelidis.
Balineum Dianes(ae) : mentioned in Reg. in Region XIV. The name
was probably due to a statue or painting of Diana in the balnea or on
the outside wall (see Ludus Aemilius), and the building stood near the
Molinae and aqua Traiana.
Balineum Fausti and I mentioned together by Martial (ii. 14. 11). They
Balineum Fortunati :J were in the campus Martius, and seem to have
been equipped in a very meagre way.
Balineum Germani : known only from its mention on one lead plate
(Rostowzew, Syll. n. 886; Rev. Num. 1899, 42-43.)
Balineae Gordiani : erected by the Emperor Gordian in various parts of
the city, in usum privatum exornatae (Hist. Aug. Gord. 32 ; see Thermae
Suranae).
(Balineum Gratiarum) | inscribed on a marble epistyle that was found in
Χαριτων Aottpon: J the ruins of a beautiful room discovered in 1715
between the baths of Caracalla and the city walls (IG xiv. 1034, 1424;
Mitt. 1894, 332 ; HJ xxi, 187).
Balineum Grylli : mentioned twice in Martial (i. 59. 3 ; ii. 14. 12), and
described as tenebrosum ; probably situated in the campus Martius.
Balineum Iuliorum Akariorum : on an inscription (CIL vi. 29764) found
near the pons Gratiani and known only from the Einsiedeln Itinerary
(De Rossi, Inscr. Christ, ii. p. 24, No. 24; cf. Mommsen, Sachs. Ber. 1850,
288, 308).
Balineum Lupi : see Aeolia.
