 towns of Acerrse^'^, surnamed Yafrise, and Turocelum, also 

 called Yettiolum ; as also the Solinates, the Curiates, the 

 Fallienates, and the Apiennates. The Arienates also have 

 disappeared with the town of Crinovolum, as well as the 

 Usidicani, the Plangenses, the Paesinates, and the Cselestini. 



^ The people of Sarsina, an important town of Umbria, famous as 

 being the bii-th-place of the comic poet Plautus. It is now called Sas- 

 sina, on the Savio. 



2 The people of Spoletvim, now Spoleto. It was a city of Umbria on 

 the Via Flammia, colonized by the Romans B.C. 242. In the later days 

 of the Emph-e it was taken by Totilas, and its walls destroyed. They 

 were however restored by Narses. 



' The people of Suasa ; the remains of which, according to D' AnviUe 

 and Mannert, are those seen to the east of the town of San Lorenzo at a 

 place called Castel Leone. ' 



* The monastery of Sestino is supposed to stand on the site of Sesti- 

 num, then- town, at the source of the river Pesaro. 



5 The site of then- town is denoted by the modern Sigello ui the 

 Marches of Ancona. 



^ Their town is supposed to have been also situate witliin the present 

 Marches of Ancona, where they jom the Duchy of Spoleto. 



7 Their town was Trebia. The modem Trevi stands on its site. 



8 The people of Tuficum, wliich Holsten thinks was situate between 

 MateKca and Fabrianmn, on the river called the Cesena. 



9 The site of Tifernum Tibermum is occupied by the present Citta di 

 CasteUo, and that of Tifernum Metaurense, or " on the Metaurus," by Sant 

 .Angelo m Vado in the Duchy of Urbino. The first-named place was iu 

 the vicmity of the estates of the Younger Phny. 



^" D'AnviUe and Mannert are of opinion that Urbania on the Metau- 

 rus, two leagues south-east of Urbino, marks the site of their town. The 

 Hortenses probably dwelt on the site of the present Urbino. 



"The site of then- town was probably the present Bettona. The site 

 of the towns of the peoples next mentioned is unknown. 



^2 Nothing is known of its position. There were cities in Campama 

 and Cisalpme Gaul also caUed Acerrse. The first has been mentioned 

 mider the Fu-st Region. Of the other places and peoples mentioned in 

 this Chapter no particulars seem to have come down to us.
