268 HORTI LAMIANI—HORTI LUCULL(I)ANI
Aelii (v. Domus Aeliorum) on the Esquiline, near the gardens of
Maecenas, and these horti may have had some connection with that.
They seem to have been close to the horti Maiani (CIL vi. 8668 : pro-
curator) hortorum Maianorum et Lamianor(um) ). These horti Maiani
are mentioned in other inscriptions (CIL vi. 6152, 8669) and in Pliny
(NH xxxv. 51), who tells of the destruction of a colossal painting of Nero,
120 feet high, which had been placed in some building within their limits.
The fact that its height was the same as that of the Colossus Neronis
(q.v.) can hardly be fortuitous, and it may have been a representation
of the latter.
There are no further indications of the exact site of these gardens,
but they are usually located just south-east of the Piazza Vittorio
Emanuele, principally because of the discovery here of numerous works
of art and a few structural remains (LR 408-411 and literature cited;
BC 1907, 34; HJ 347, 354 and literature cited; LS iii. hi, 168; Cons.
126 ff. ; RE viii. 2485).
Horti Lamiani (2) : somewhere on the right bank of the Tiber, near those
of Drusus (Cic. ad Att. xii. 21. 2, 22. 3 ; cf. 19. 1).
Horti Largiani : in Region VII (Not.), but whether on the slope of the
Pincian or in the campus Martius, is uncertain.
Horti Liciniani : gardens belonging to the Emperor Gallienus (Hist. Aug.
Gall. 17). There is no indication of their location unless they bore some
relation to the colossus erected by Gallienus (ib. 18) in summo Esquiliarum
monte, or to the Palatium Licinianum (q.v.), near S. Balbina, or to the
arcus Gallieni at the porta Esquilina (BC 1874, 55; LR 402-406;
HJ 358-9). The nymphaeum on the Esquiline, wrongly called the
temple of Minerva Medica, is by some supposed to have belonged to these
horti ; see Nymphaeum. It is conceivable that they were previously
called Horti Volusiani (q.v.), and acquired their name from Ferox
Licinianus (AJP 1927, 28).
Horti Lolliani : gardens on the Esquiline, on the boundary between
Regions IV and VI, as is shown by a terminal cippus that was found at
the corner of the Via Principe Amedeo and the Piazza della Terme (CIL
vi. 31284; NS 1883, 339; BC 1883, 220; Civilta Cattolica 1883, 210).
These gardens may have belonged to M. Lollius, consul in 21 b.c., or to
his daughter, Lollia Paulina, the rival of Agrippina.
Horti Lucull(i)ani : the earliest gardens on the Pincian, laid out by L.
Licinius Lucullus about 60 b.c. (Tac. Ann. xi. 1). In 46 a.d. they belonged
to Valerius Asiaticus and were called horti Asiatici (Cass. Dio lx. 27. 3).
Messalina coveted them, forced Valerius to commit suicide, and seized
the gardens, and was herself killed in them (Cass. Dio loc. cit. ; Tac. Ann.
xi. I, 32, 37). Thereafter they were regarded as among the richest of
the imperial properties (Plut. Luc. 39). They were situated immediately
above the point where the aqua Virgo emerged from its underground
Aelii (v. Domus Aeliorum) on the Esquiline, near the gardens of
Maecenas, and these horti may have had some connection with that.
