70 BALINEUM MAMERTINI—BALNEUM TEMPLUS
Balineum Mamertini : mentioned only in Reg. in Region I. These baths
were probably near the porta Capena and may have been built by Sex.
Petronius Mamertinus, praetorian prefect in 139-143 a.d. (Pros. iii. 28.212).
Balneum Mercurii : mentioned in the Einsiedeln Itinerary (9), and
possibly referred to in the templum Mercurii of the Mirabilia (i), as both
balneum and templum are used in mediaeval documents for structures
of various kinds. If there was a balneum Mercurii, it may have been
near the Aqua Mercurii (q.v.) on the west slope of the Caelian (DAP
2. ix. 418).
Balnea Naeratii Cerealis : built by Naeratius Cerealis, consul in 358
a.d. (CIL vi. 1744, 31916), and situated on the Esquiline, in the space
now bounded by the Vie Cavour, Manin, Farini, and the Piazza Esquilino.
Parts of the foundations and some architectural fragments were discovered
in 1873. The house of Naeratius probably stood near the baths (BC
1874,84-88; 1905,294-299).
Balneae Palatii : see Balneum Caesaris.
Balneae Pallacinae : see Pallacinae.
Balineum Phoebi : mentioned only in Juvenal (vii. 233), without any
indication of location.
Balneum Plauti(a)ni : see Lavacrum Plauti(a)ni.
Balneum Polycleti : see Ludus Aemilius.
Balineum Prisci : mentioned only in Not. in Region XIV. It was probably
near the Molinae (q.v.) and the aqua Traiana.
Balineum Scriboniolum : located in Region XIV according to an inscrip-
tion found at Grottaferrata (CIL xv. 7188; HJ 198; BC 1887, 286;
PBS v. 267).
Balneae Seniae : mentioned only by Cicero (pro Cael. 61, 62). There is
no clue to its location.
Balneae Severi : baths erected by Severus on the right bank of the
Tiber the existence of which depends on an emendation of the text in
Hist. Aug. Sev. 19. 5 : eiusdemque etiam balneae1 (iani, ianae coddi)
in Transtiberina regione ad portam nominis sui, quarum forma intercidens
statim usum publicum invidit (Becker, de vet. Romae muris atque portis
127 ; Top. 213 ; HJ 629 ; WS 1884, 124 ; RhM 1884, 635). See Thermae
Septimianae, Severianae (2).
Balnea Stephani : mentioned twice by Martial (xi. 52· 4 xiv. 6o). They
were near his house on the Quirinal (see Domus Martialis).
Balnea Surae : see Thermae Suranae.
Balneum qui cognominatur Templus (in vicum Longum) : mentioned in
LP (xlii. 6) among the buildings that fell into the possession of the basilica
of SS. Gervasius and Protasius, which was dedicated under Innocent I
(401-417 a.d.). This basilica is now the church of S. Vitale (HCh 498).
