Rabirius (architect)

Rabirius was an ancient Roman architect who lived during the 1st and 2nd centuries CE.[1] His designs included the massive Flavian Palace, situated on the Palatine Hill at Rome, and the Alban Villa at present-day Castel Gandolfo, both erected on a commission by his patron, emperor Domitian.[2]

It has been suggested that Rabirius designed the extant Arch of Titus, a commemorative arch located in summa Sacra Via honoring the joint triumph celebrated by Titus and Vespasian marking their successful suppression of the Jewish Revolt in 71 CE.[3]

gollark: i.e. if I tried to just pass a mutable reference to a map to all of the stuff I run in different threads, it'd be a compiler error, so instead it's a `Arc<Mutex<T>>`.
gollark: Well, you can spawn threads, and the type system prevents weirdness with concurrency.
gollark: Oh, and Rust has that nice thing where you can't keep around both a mutable reference and immutable references to stuff.
gollark: I'm not a C++ologist, so what happens if you, say, allocate a hash map in a function, then return a reference to an element in that hashmap?
gollark: Not really. Any pointer handling or whatever can be unsafe.
