ADDENDA ET CORRIGENDA

p. 26, 1. 17. Add ' NS 1886, 451 ; 1897, 104.’
1. 31. For ‘ this conduit ’ read ‘ this high-level branch of the Marcia ' ; and add,
‘ there was also an aqueduct in opus quadratum (probably belonging to the
branch of the Marcia going to the Aventine) in the valley of the Porta Capena,
immediately adjacent to the Servian wall on the inside : and remains still exist
of its reinforcement in concrete by Nero, who must have used it to carry the
Claudia to the Aventine. Of Trajan’s amplum opus there is no trace remaining.
Aqua Tepula’. p. 27, 1. 36. It was restored with the rest by Augustus in 11-4 b.c.
Aqua Traiana. p. 28, 1. 19. Cf. also Mem. cit. vi. 137 sqq. It appears also to
have been found in the Villa Sciarra (NS 1886, 52) though it is not shown in LF.
Aqua Virgo, p. 29, 1. 24. An attempt by the Goths in the siege of 537 to use its
subterranean channel as a passage to the city, after they had cut off the water
from it as from the other aqueducts, is described by Procopius (BG ii. 9. 1-11).
Ara Pacis Augustae. p. 31, 1. 39. The dates forbid us to suppose that the Ara
Pacis inspired Horace when he was writing Carm. Saec. 29-32 ; and it is therefore
probable that both were inspired by a lost monument with a group of Tellus,
which is more closely reproduced in a relief at Carthage (Loewy in Atti del
Congresso di Studi Romani, Rome 1928).
Arcus Augusti. p. 34, 1. 15. The arch of 19 b.c. is also represented on coins
of 19-18 b.c. struck at Ephesus (Cohen, Aug. 298 ; BM, Aug. 703) with the
inscription SPR Signis receptis.
Arcus Domitiani (2). p. 39, 1. 17. Add ' and if this is so, the position of the arch,
which blocks the entrance to what Hiilsen believes to be the precinct of the
temple of Apollo (supra, p. 18) may be used as evidence against his identification
(cf. p. 168). It should also be noticed that the road through it is blocked by
brick walls of the Domitianic period only a short distance to the south of it, so
that it was clearly not built by Domitian.’
Arcus Lentuli et Crispini. p. 40, 1. 28. Lanciani was led by the similarity of
the inscriptions to attribute them to the same conduit, a branch of the Marcia :
.but if this were so, we should have an arch in the middle of the conduit con-
structed and accepted (pwobare is the word used) eight years later than an arch
at the end. It seems better therefore to attribute this arch to the Appia,
especially as this arch stood at its terminal point.
Arcus Neroniani. p. 41, 1. 1. Cf. also BC 1926, 265.
1. 5. A right-angled turn at the bottom of the valley makes this a little doubtful.
Arcus Novus (Diocletiani). p. 42, 1. 1. See LS i. 88.
Arcus Pietatis. p. 42, 1. 22. See RAP iv. 291-303 for the full statement of
Hulsen’s theory. He further points out that the name was used for various
other arches in the Middle Ages—perhaps the Arcus ad Isis, and certainly the
arch of Titus.
Arcus Septimii Severi. p. 44, 1. 10. Add ; ASA 119 ; HFP 21, 22.
Area Capitolina, p. 48, 1. 2. Cf. p. 96 ; Plin. NH xxxvi. 104.
Area Pannaria. p. 50, 1. 35. Richter (345) has rightly pointed out that both this
and the Campus Lanarius in Reg. XII were probably open spaces on each side
of the Via Appia, where the peasants bought and sold cloth and wool. This
would invalidate the site assigned to the latter in the text (following HJ 198).
Cf. also Area Radicaria.
Area Splenis. p. 51, 1. 10. This is demonstrated by Engstrom in Goteborgs
Hogskolas Kurs i Rom 1909, 8, where splen is connected with splenium,
a bandage (from σπλην), and with the titulus fasciolae (SS. Nereus and Achilleus,
on the opposite side of the Via Appia to S. Sisto Vecchio : cf. HCh 388 ; Hiilsen
in BC 1926, 49-53)·
Argeorum Sacraria. p. 52, 1. 18 sqq. The variants of Goetz and Schoell have
not been given : but they furnish no new topographical information, except
that they read Suburbana for Suburana, which seems reasonable enough.
Atrium Vestae. p. 59, 1. 16. There is not sufficient evidence for associating
CIL vi. 30960, 30976, with this shrine (Jord. i. 2. 298).
Augustus Divus, templum. p. 62, 1. 36. A diploma recently found at Wroxeter
(135 a.d.) may be added (CR 1928, 13).
