IANUS QUIRINUS—INSULA TIBERINA 281
Ianus Quirinus : see Ianus Geminus.
Ilicium : see Ara Iovis Elicii.
Indulgentia (?) : a temple (ναός) of Ευεργεσία on the Capitoline, built
by M. Aurelius in 180 a.d. (Cass. Dio lxxi. 34. 3 : κλειστόν 8e ev ευεργεσία
δίήγεν, δθεν που καϊ νέων αυτής εν τω Κα7πτωλίω ίδρυσατο, ονοματι τινι
ίδιωτάτω καϊ μήπω ακουσθεντι π ροσκαλεσας αυτήν'). Ευεργεσία is probably
to be identified with Indulgentia, i.e. Indulgentia Augusti, whose
name appears on coins, and to whom at least one shrine in Africa
(Cirta) was dedicated (Jord. i. 2. 47 ; WR 336 ; Rosch. ii. 233 ; CIL
viii. 7095, 8813-8814).
Insula : a house containing a number of apartments (see De Marchi in
Mem. 1st. Lombardo, 1891, 252 sqq. ; Calza in Mon. L. xiii. 541-608 ;
RL 1917, 60-87 > and contrast Hermes, 1885, 91-100; Mem. Acad.
Inscr. B.-L. 1915, 279-335). Assigning to one-third of the 44,30ο1
insulae enumerated in Reg. (Brev. gives 46,602) an area of 400 square
metres each, and 100 each to the rest, we get an average area of 200 square
metres per insula, or a total of 8,860,000 square metres ; and, adding
500 square metres for each of the 1790 domus, we get a further 895,000
square metres, giving a total of 9,755,000 square metres, out of the total
area of 13,868,750 square metres within the area of the Aurelian walls.
Calza computes the approximate population of Rome at the time of
Constantine at 40 per insula, or roughly 1,800,000.
Insula Aesculapii : see Insula Tiberina.
Insula Bolani : a lodging house belonging to M. Vettius Bolanus (CIL
vi. 67), consul before 69 a.d. It was in Region XIV, west of the pons
Aemilius, and a little north of the church of S. Cecilia (cf. Aedes Bonae
Deae, Balineum Bolani ; and see LA 218).
Insula Cuminiana : a lodging house on the Caelian, mentioned only in a
late source (acta S. Pancratii, 12th May, p. 21), but perhaps belonging
to the classical period.
Insula Felicles : a lodging house in Region IX (Not.), and famous for its
height (Tert. adv. Valent. 7 ; cf. Pr. Reg. 91, 179). It was probably
near the east end of the circus Flaminius (HJ 556).
Insula Serpentis Epidauri : see Insula Tiberina.
Insula Sertoriana : a lodging house known only from one inscription
(CIL vi. 29791), found in the forum Boarium.
Insula Tiberina : the island in the Tiber, included in the fourteenth
region of Augustus, and now called isola di S. Bartolomeo (Ill. 32 ; cf.
also Ill. 37). It seems to be the end of the ridge of which the Capitoline
hill is a part, and owing perhaps to the harder character of its tufa, the
river did not cut it away entirely but divided and flowed on either side.
