* Once a considerable city of Latium. The modern city of San Oter- 

 mano has risen on its ruins, while the name of Monte Casino has been 

 retained by the monastery foxmded near it by St. Bernard A.D. 529. 



^ The present Calvi probably occupies its site. 



' It is not named in history. Its site was probably between Palestrina 

 and II Pigho. 



* The people of CereatsD, a town of Latium. It is supposed that the 

 ancient monastery of Casamari occupied its site. 



* Tho people of Cora, an ancient city of Latium. The present Cori 

 stands on its site, and there are considerable remains of the ancient walls 

 and other buildings. 



* The people of Castrimoonium, a colony of Sy 11a. It has been suggested 

 that these were the same people whom Pliny speaks of at a subsequent 

 place in this chapter as the Munienses, an extinct people of Latium. If 

 so, the name was perhaps changed on the establishment here by Sylla 

 of his colony. It probably stood near the modem city of Marino. 



7 The people of Cingulum, a city of Picenum, the site of wliich is 

 occupied by the modem CingoU. 



* It is conjectured that i abia was on the same site as the present 

 village of Rocca di Papa. 



' The inhabitants of Forum Popilii in Campania; its site is unknown. 



^^ The people of Frusino, originally a Volscian city. The modem 

 Frosinone occupies its site. 



^1 The people of Ferentinum, a city of the Hemici : the present city 

 of Ferentino stands on its site. The ruins are yery extensiye. 



^2 Probably the people of Fregella?, an ancient city of the Volscians. 

 Its site is now unknown, but it was probably on the banks of the Liris, 

 opposite to the modem Ceprano. 



'3 The people of Fabrateria or Frabateria, a Volscian city. A Roman 

 colony was placed there B.C. 124, by C. Gracchus, and probably the old 

 inhabitants for that reason styled themselves " Veteres." The ruins at 

 San Giovanni in Cerico, about three miles from Falvaterra, are supposed 

 to be those of this place, or at least of the new town or colony. In such 

 case Falvaterra may occupy the site of the original city. 



*^ The people of Ficulnea or Ficulia, a city of ancient Latium, on the 

 Via Nomentana. It is supposed to have decayed soon after the reign of 

 M. Aurehus. Its site was probably on the modem domain of Cesarini, 

 though some separate the ancient Latin city from the Roman town, and 

 fix the locality of the former on the lull called Monte Gentile, or that 

 of the Torre Lupara.
