Arae incendii Neroniani

A series of altars commemorated the "Great Fire of 64" that occurred during the reign of the emperor Nero. These so-called "Arae incendii Neroniani" are assigned to the reign of Domitian. The original number of altars is unknown and debated. Epigraphy aids greatly in a reconstruction of this distributed monument, as does the in situ altar on the Quirinal Hill. The latter was originally situated opposite the temple of Quirinus and now lies beneath the Ministero della Casa Reale, near the modern church of S. Andrea.
