Οὐαλλέριος

Οὐαλλέριος, artists.

1. Of Ostia. The architect of the covered theatre erected at Rome for the games of Libo. (Plin. Nat. 36.15. s. 24.) Pliny does not say which Libo he refers to; but it is likely to have been L. Scribonius Libo, who in his curule aedileship, with his colleague C. Atilius Serranus, first celebrated the Megalesia as ludi scenici, B. C. 193. [LIBO, SCRIBONIUS, No. 3].
