SEP. C. SULPICI PLATORINI—SESSORIUM 487
Visconti, Il sepolcro del fanciullo Q. Sulpicius Maximus, Rome 1871 ;
Lanciani, Pagan and Christian Rome 280-282 ; Cons. 149).
Sep. C. Sulpici Platorini : the family tomb of C. Sulpicius Platorinus,
triumvir monetalis in 18 b.c., on the right bank of the Tiber, close to the
end of the pons Agrippae and just inside the later Aurelian wall, excavated
in 1880 (NS 1880, 129-138; 1883, 372; 1896, 467-469; BC 1880, 136-
138 ; Mitt. 1889, 286 ; HJ 650). It was a rectangular structure,
7.44 metres long and 7.12 wide, with the entrance on the west; the
stylobate and front part of the Avails were of travertine, the inner walls
of brick-faced concrete, and the pavement of white mosaic. In the
niches were cinerary urns with inscriptions, and on the pavement were
found two statues of heroic size and a bust. The inscriptions found
in the tomb date from the time of Augustus to that of the Flavians
(CIL vi. 31761-31768 a). It has been reconstructed in the Museo
Nazionale Romano (BA 1911, 365 ; PT 68, 71, 242).
Sep. Titi Tatii : the tomb of Titus Tatius in the Lauretum (q.v.), on the
Aventine (Varro, LL v. 152; Fest. 360), near the Armilustrium (Plut.
Rom. 23). It was the seat of a cult (Dionys. iii. 43 ; HJ 162).
Sep. Valeriorum : see Domus Valeriorum.
Serapeum : see Isis in Campo Martio.
Serapis, aedes * (templum, Not.) : a temple in Region VI (Not., which
puts it next to the Aedes Salutis, q.v.), built by Caracalla according
to the testimony of a monumental inscription (CIL vi. 570 = 30796 ;
cf. Hist. Aug. Carac. 9) confirmed by that of two others (IG xiv. 1024 ;
CIL vi. 573=30797 ; cf. NS 1909, 80). The first of these was found near
the ruins of the great temple in the gardens of the Palazzo Colonna
(Ill. 47), and the third not far away, while traces of the cult of Serapis
are not infrequent on this part of the Quirinal (HJ 423 ; BC 1914, 374) ;
some recently discovered remains have characteristic Severan brick-
facing (YW 1926-7, 103), while the plan of the temple is itself Egyptian
in character. We must therefore believe that these ruins were those of
the temple of Serapis (for the literature of this identification and a
description of the ruins, see Templum Solis Aureliani). See Lafaye,
Divin. d’Alex. (1884), 200-229 ; RE i. A. 2417.
Sessorium : a building of unknown origin, situated at the extreme south-
east of Region V, adjoining the amphitheatrum Castrense. It was
earlier than the Aurelian wall which cut through it, but is not mentioned
before that time unless the emendation Σεσσωρίον for Σηστβριον in
Plutarch, Galba 28, is admitted (Becker, de Romae veteris muris 120 ;
De Rossi, Roma sotterranea iii. 408). From the beginning of the sixth
century it appears as Sessorium in the Excerpta Valesiana 69 (Mommsen,
Chron. min. i. 324 : in palatio quod appellatur Sessorium), and in certain
scholia (Pseudoacron, in Hor. Epod. 5. ΙΟΟ ; Sat. i. 8. 11, 14 ; Comm. Cruq.
ad locc. citt.), where paupers and criminals are said to have been buried
