Piscina Publica : ウィキペディア英語版 | Piscina Publica
In ancient Rome, the Piscina Publica ("Public Pool") was a public reservoir and swimming pool located in Regio XII. The region itself came to be called informally ''Piscina Publica'' from the landmark.〔''CIL'' VI.975; Ammianus Marcellinus 17.4.14; Lawrence Richardson, ''A New Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome'' (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992), p. 332.〕 The ''piscina'' was situated in the low-lying area between the Via Appia, the Servian Wall, and the northeast slope of the Aventine Hill, an area later occupied by the Baths of Caracalla.〔Samuel Ball Platner and Thomas Ashby, ''A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome'' (Oxford University Press, 1929), pp. 391‑392, in the LacusCurtius edition of Bill Thayer (online. )〕 There is some disagreement as to whether the reservoir was fed by one of several springs in the immediate area〔Richardson, ''A New Topographical Dictionary'', p. 291.〕 or by the ''aqua Appia'', the first public aqueduct built by Appius Claudius Caecus.〔Mario Torelli, "The Topography and Archaeology of Republican Rome," in ''A Companion to the Roman Republic'' (Blackwell, 2010), p. 92.〕 Located just inside the Porta Capena,〔Richardson, ''A New Topographical Dictionary'', p. 292.〕 it was the first site for both communal water distribution and sports.〔Torelli, "Topography and Archaeology," p. 92.〕 The aqueduct supplied water for wool processors near the ''piscina''.〔''CIL'' VI.167; Stephen L. Dyson, ''Rome: A Living Portrait of an Ancient City'' (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2010), p. 67.〕 Mention of a ''piscina publica'' was first made in 215 BC,〔Livy 23.32.4 (in (Latin )); Richardson, ''A New Topographical Dictionary'', p. 292.〕 when the two city praetors moved their tribunals to the site, near where the senate was meeting with generals to discuss the ongoing Hannibalic War.〔T. Corey Brennan, ''The Praetorship in the Roman Republic'' (Oxford University Press, 2000), p. 106.〕 A reference in Festus indicates that it no longer existed in the 2nd century.〔Festus 213 (Verrius): "The name of the Public Pool remains today, but the pool itself does not."〕 ==References==
