DOMUS: G. . . . AR... . T. . . . CERMANIANUS—HORTENSIUS 181
G. .. . Ar. . . . T. . . . Cermanianus {sic} c.v. : known only from a lead pipe
of the fourth or fifth century (CIL xv. 7462), found at the south-east
corner of the thermae Constantini, near the Banca d’Italia.
Germanicus : the father of Caligula, on the Palatine and mentioned only
by Josephus (Ant. Iud. xix. I. 15). Its location is unknown, and no
identification as yet proposed is acceptable (HJ 85 ; v. supra, p. 157).
Gregorius Magnus : situated on the clivus Scauri, opposite the Domus
Johannis et Pauli (q.v.). In it Gregory founded the church which
still bears his name, in honour of S. Andrew, about 580 a.d. (LPD i. 312:
hie domum suam constituit monasterium). Johannes Diaconus (Vita
S. Greg. IV 83-84, in Migne, Patrol. Lat. exxv. 230) speaks of some
paintings executed here during Gregory’s lifetime by his order, repre-
senting himself and his parents, which are now no longer visible. The
name domus Aniciorum is often applied to it, inasmuch as Gregory
belonged to the family of the Anicii Petronii. Pope Agapetus I (535-536)
had previously founded a library here, the dedicatory inscription of
which is preserved, and some remains of which exist (De Rossi, Insc.
Crist, ii. I. p. 16 ; LPD i. 288, n. I ; LF 35 ; LR 351-352 ; DAP 2. viii.
417-450 ; HCh 256 ; Leclercq in Cabrol, Diet. vi. 1753-1770).
(H)aterius Latronianus. A lead pipe bearing his name belonging to the
middle or end of the second century a.d. was found at the north-west
angle of the Finance Ministry (CIL xv. 7467 ; LF 10). The tomb
of 0. Haterius (CIL vi. 1426 ; cf. Pros. ii. 126. 17) stood on the right
of the via Nomentana not far off, and served as foundation to
one of the towers of the porta Nomentana of the Aurelian wall
(PBS iii. 38). See Sep. 0. Haterii.
L. Hermonius Iustus : see Stabula iiii factionum.
Homullus : probably M. Valerius Homullus, consul in 152 a.d. (Pros,
iii. 358. 61). The house is mentioned once (Hist. Aug. Pius 11), but is
otherwise unknown.
Horatiana : mentioned only in the Scholiast to Juvenal (i. 12) :
Frontonis. in Horatiana domo in qua poetae recitabant. Cf. Horti
Maecenatis. It is quite uncertain which Fronto is meant (Friedlander
in loc.).
A. Hortensius Licinianus : lead pipes bearing his name (end of second
or beginning of third century) were found near the right bank of the
Tiber, above the Mausoleum of Hadrian, in the so-called Prati di
Castello (CIL xv. 7469).
Hortensius (aedes Hortensianae) : on the southern half of the Palatine.
This modest house was purchased by Octavian, and occupied by him
before the building of the domus Augustiana (Suet. Aug. 72). It is
probably to be identified with the Domus Augusti (q.v.) ; cf. JRS
1914, 192-211).
