VIA ASIN ARIA—VIA CAMPANA 561
within a short distance of one another. The proper name for the postern
would then be porta Laurentina—if it had a name at all.
(Jord. i. 1. 233, 363 ; T. i. 72-104, 597 1 ix. 409-461 ; RE ii. 615 sq. ;
HJ 185 ; Carcopino, Virgile et les Origines d’Ostie (Paris 1919), 240-250.)
Via Asinaria : a road which issued from the Porta Asinaria of the
Aurelian wall, accessible from the via Latina, from which Belisarius
diverged, in his advance on Rome, so as to enter by the Porta Asinaria
(Not. app. ; Procop. BG i. 14. 14). It is also mentioned by Festus 282
(s.v. retricibus : aqua eo nomine quae est supra viam Ardeatinam inter
lapidem secundum et tertium, qua inrigantur horti infra viam Ardeatinam
et Asinariam usque ad Latinam), which shows that it must have run
towards the via Appia and the via Ardeatina. Its course is variously
indicated, but probably the modern Via Appia Nuova at first coincides
with it (Bull. d. Inst. 1861, 72; RE ii. 1581; T. ii. 28-33; PBS iv.
42-45). The via Tusculana diverges from it about 400 metres from the
gate (PBS iv. 51 sqq.).
Via Aurelia (Not. app. ; Eins. 12. 3) : the road which led from the pons
Aemilius across the low ground on the right bank of the Tiber (where
two arches of a viaduct belonging to it were found near S. Crisogono,
NS 1889, 362-364; BC 1889, 476-477 ; 1890, 6-8, 57-65 ; Mitt. 1891,
145-148 ; LF 20 ; KH ii.; HJ 627) up to the Janiculum (Mon. L. i. 480),
where it passed through the Aurelian wall by the Porta Aurelia. This
would be the via Aurelia vetus ; the nova ran south of the Leonine
wall (LF 12-14 ; KH iii.) and joined it at the Madonna del Riposo, ran
westward through undulating country until it reached the coast a little
to the south-east of Palidoro, some 20 miles from Rome, and then followed
it right up to Vada Volaterrana, whence it was prolonged to Genoa by
the via Aemilia.
Some inscriptions of the curatores speak of the via Aurelia vetus,
nova, the Cornelia, and the Triumphalis as being all united under one
administration (CIL vi. 1512; viii. 946; xiv. 3610; CIG 2638 omits
the Cornelia),1 while others mention the Aurelia only (ib. ii. 1283, 1371 ;
vi. 1462; ix. 973, 1126; EE iv. 425; BC 1891, 95-100). The road
is mentioned on a gold glass inscription (T. ix. 464) and on a brick-
stamp (CIL xv. 676 : officina Vari Romani, quae est via Aurelia hor(tis)
[or hor(reis)] Popisci). (Jord. i. I. 376-380 ; T. i. 104-193, 598-600;
ix. 463-547 1 RE ii. 2430 ; Mel. 1913, 171-192.)
Via Campana : a road on the right bank of the Tiber, which led to the
Campus Salinarum romanarum (see Via Ostiensis, with which it was,
in imperial times, united for purposes of administration). It was probably
of very early origin (see Via Salaria, Vicus Iugarius). The first part
of its course was identical with that of the Via Portuensis (q.v.). See
T. v. 1-58.
