 168 AQUAE. nmny modicinal springs and bathing-places. The most important are mentioned below in alphabetical order. AQUAE ALBULAE, [Albula.] AQUAE APOLLINA'KES, was the name given to some warm springs between Sabote and Tarquinii, in Etrxuia, where there appears to have been a con- siderable thermal establishment They are evi- dently the same designated by Martial (vi. 42. 7) by the poetical phrase of " Phoebi vada." The Tab. Peat places them on the npper road firom Rome to Tarquinii at the distance of 12 nules from the hitter city, a position which accords with the modem Boffni di Stiglitmo. Claverins conibmids them with the Aquae Caeretanae, now Bagni dd Sasso^ which were indeed but a few miles distant (Holsteu. not ad Cluver, p. 35.) J^ [E. H. B.] AQUAE AUREXIAEorCOLO'NIA AURE'LIA AQUENSIS (Baden^Baden)j a watering place in a lovely valley of the Black Forest, is not mentioned by ancient writers, but is stated in a doubtful in- scription of A. D. 676t to have been built by Hadrian, but it did not acquire celebrity till the time of Alex- ander Severus. [L. S.] AQUAE BILBITANOTIUM. [Aquae H»- PANICAE.J AQUAE BORMO'NIS (Bourbon rArcham- bauli). The site of tiiese hot springs is marked in the Theodosian Table by the square figure or build- ing which indicates mineral waters, and by the name Bormo, which D'Anville erroneously would have altered to Borvo. It is also marked as on a road which communicates to the KW. with Avaricum (Bourgei)f and to the NE. with Augustodunum (Autun). The hot. springs of Bourbon are a few miles from the left bank of the Allier, an affluent of the Loire. At Bowbonne-les-Baintj in the department of ffatUe Mame^ there are also hot springs, and the llieodosian Table indicates, as D'Anville supposes, this fact by the usual mark, though it gives the place no name. D*Anville (Notice^ &c.) gave it the name of Aquae Borvonis, founding the name on an inscription discovered there ; but the correct reading of the inscription, according to more recent autho- rities, is BORBONI THERMARUM DEO MAHMONAE, &c. It is probable that Bormo may have been the deity of both places, as the modem names are the same. Thus the god of the hot springs gave his name to the place, and the place gave a name to a family which, for a long time, occupied the throne of France. [G. L.] AQUAE CAESARIS (prob. Uhm, Ru.), 7 M. P. south- west of Tipasa, in Numidia, and evidenUy, from the way in which it is marked in the Tabula Peutingeriana, a mudi frequented place. fP. S.] AQUAE CAERETA'NAE. [Caere.] AQUAE CAXIDAE. The position of this place is marked in the Theodosian Table by its being on the road between Augustonemetum (Clermont) in the Auvergne and Rodumna (Rouanne). The db- tance from Augustonemetum to Aquae Calidae is not given; but there is no doubt that Aquae Calidae is Vichy on the Allier, a pkce now frequtoted for its mineral waters. D'Anville (Noticey &c) remarks, that De Valois confounds the Aquae Calidae with the Calentes Aquae mentioned by Sidonius Apollinaris, which are Chaudes-aigues (hot-waters) in the department of Cantal. The whole of the motmtain rt^on of the Auvergne abounds in mineral waters. [G. L.] • ' .T y/<^C ** :Lr. AQUAE. AQUAE CA'LIDAE ('TSaTo ^tpi»k Ko^»Wa, Ptol. : Hamtnam MerigOj large Ru. and bot springs), in Mauretania Cacsariensis, abnost dac S. of Caesarea, at the distance of 25 M. P. It mv important, not only for its hot springs, but for iti commanding the pass of the Lesser Atlas, fnnn Caesarea, and other cities on the coast, to the valley of the Chinalaph. This explains its having aoqtured the rank of a colony in the time of Ptolemy, while in the Antonine Itinerary it is called simply Aqtiac. Its ruins are fully described by Shaw (p 64, Isted.). [P.S.] . AQUAE CAXIDAE (Hanmam Gwbot^ with hot springs), in Zeugitana, on the gulf of Cartha^, directly opposite to the dty : probably identical with Cakpis. (liv. XXX. 24; Tab.Peut.^ ad Aquas; Shaw, p. 157, or p. 87, 2nd ed.; Barth, Wander- vngen, ^. p. 128.) There are also hot springs at Hamman VEnf^ near the bottom of the Gulf, which mav be tiiose mentioned by Strabo as near Tunes (xvii. p. 834). [P.S.] AQUAE CAXIDAE, in Britain. [Aquae Sous.] AQUAE CONVENA'RUIL These waters are placed by the Anton. Itin. on the road from Aquae Tarbellicae to Tolosa {Touloute)^ and on this nde of Lugdunum Convenarum. Some ge(^raphers iden- tily the phioe with Bagneres-de-Bigorre in the de- partment of HatUes Pyreneetj a place noted for its mineral springs; but D'Anville fixes the site at Cap- bera. Walckenaer, however, places it at Bagnerts. Strabo (p. 190), after mentioning Lugdunum, speaks of the warm springs of the Onesii(Twv *Oi^0'i«*'),for which unknown name Wesseling and others would read Koi'ov6i'»i'. Xylander (Holzmann) proposed to read MovriciuVy and Pliny (iv. 19) mentions the Monesi, whose name seems to be preserved in that of the town of Moneina on the Baise, in the depart- ment of Eautes Pyrenha, Grosskurd ( TroMlaiiw. of Strabo^ vol. i. p. 327) assumes that Aquae Con- venarum is Bagnere» in Commmges. Bagneret dt Bigarre is proved by an inscription on the public fountain to be the Aquensis Vicus of the Romans, the inhabitants of which were named Aquenses; which seems to confirm the opinion that Aquae Convenarum was a difierent place. [G. L.] AQUAE CUTIXLAE. [Cutiuae.] AQUAE DACICAE, in the interior of Mauie- tania Tingitana, bd^ween VolubiHs and Gilda. (Itin, Ant.y.23.). [P.S.] -, AQUAE GRATLA'NAE, in the territory of the Allobroges, appear, from inscriptions, to be the mine- ral waters of Aix, north of Chambery, in the dnchy of Savoy, and a littie east of the lake of Bourget, at an elevation of about 823 English feet above the sea. The people were also called Aquenses. [G. L.] AQUAE HISPA'NICAE. (I.)Bilbitanorum (A^md)j a town with baths, in Hispania Tarraco nensis, about 24 M. P. west of Bilbius. (It Ant) There were numerous other bathing places in Spain, but none of them require more than a bare mention : (2) Aq. Celenae, Cilenab, or Cbunae (Cal- das del Beg); (3) Flavtae (Chaves on the Ta- megay with a Roman bridge of 18 arches; (4) Lae- VAE QTZara Xmd^ Ptol.; (5) Orioetis (Bannot de Bande or Or enee)'j (6) Cercernab, Quebquek- nab, or QuACER]70RUM (Bio Caldof or Andret de ZarracoTiesf); (7) Voconae (CaUks de Mala^ veUa). [P.S.] AQUAE LABANAE (tA Aa/3aM Woto), are mentioned by Strabo (v. p. 238) as cold sulphureous iO^ /'-<, ^ r. V : '' .' A-». y^
