^ The people of Arretium, one of the most powerful cities of Etruria. 

 The thi'ee tribes or peoples here mentioned probably did not occupy di- 

 stinct towns, but constituted separate communities or mimicipal bodies, 

 "being distinct colonies or bodies of settlers. The Julienses were the 

 colonists settled there by Augustus. The Fidentes had probably settled 

 at an earher period. The modern Arezzo has risen on the remains of the 

 Roman city, wliile the remains of the Etruscan city are pointed out on 

 an elevated spot called Poggio di San Cornelho, two or three miles south- 

 east of Ai'ezzo. Many valuable rehca of antiquity have been discovered 

 here. The family of Maecenas sprang from this place. 



- The people of Aquae Tauri, a watering-place of Etruria, situate about 

 three miles north of the present Civita Veccliia, and now called Bagni di 

 Ferrata. The baths are described by Rutihus m his Itinerary, who calls 

 them Tauri Thennse (the Bvdl's Baths), and ascribes then* name to the 

 fact of then* havuig been accidentally discovered by a bull. 



3 The people of Blera, on the site of the modern village of Bieda, about 

 twelve miles south of Viterbo. Numerous remains of Etruscan antiquity 

 have been found here. — See Dennis's Etruria, vol. i. pp. 260-272. 



"* The people of Cortona, a powerful city of Etrm-ia, whicli is stiU 

 known by the same name. It was probably in the nmuber of the cities 

 of Etrm-ia that were ravaged by Sylla, and then rccolonized by him. 

 Numerous remains of Etruscan antiquity have been discovered tliere. 



^ The people of Capena, an ancient and important city of Etrmna, 

 which, after long opposing the inroads of the Romans, was reduced to 

 submission shortly after the fall of Veu, B.C. 393. It existed and held 

 municipal rank til the time of the Emperor Am-ehan, after which aU 

 traces of its name or existence were lost, till 1750, when Galctti fixed its 

 site with great accuracy at Civitucola or San Martino, about 2-i miles 

 from Rome. It was situate on the banks of a small river now called the 

 Grammiccia, and in its territory was the celebrated ' Lucus Feroniae' pre- 

 viously mentioned. 



^ The new and old colonists of the city of Clusiiun, who probably en- 

 joyed distinct municipal riglits. The modern Chiusi stands on its site. 



'' The modem Fiorenze or Florence occupies the site of then* city. 



8 The village of Fiesole stands on its site. Extensive remams of the 

 ancient city are still to be found. 



3 The site of Ferentinum is now uninhabited, but is still known by the 

 name of Ferento. Tlie rivers of the ancient city are very considerable ; 

 it was finally destroyed by tlie peo])le of Viterbo in the 12th ceiitury. 



^^ An ancient town of Ktruria near Falisci. Cluver thinks that it was 

 Bituatc at Gallese, a village nine niUes north of Civita Castellana ; but 

 Dennis considers its site to have been between Borghetto ou the Tiber
