the stream of the Arnus, Fsesulse^, Ferentinum^, Eescemiia^^, 
^ The people of Arretium, one of the most powerful cities of Etruria. 
The tlii'ee tribes or peoples here mentioned probably did not occupy di- 
stinct towns, but constituted separate communities or municipal bodies, 
beiiig distinct colonies or bodies of settlers. The JuUenses 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, while the remains of the Etruscan city are pointed out on 
an elevated spot called Poggio di San CorneUio, two or three miles south- 
east of Arezzo. Many valuable relics of antiquity have been discovered 
here. The family of Maecenas sprang from this place. 
2 The people of Aquse Tauri, a watering-place of Etruria, situate about 
three miles north of the present Civita Yecchia, and now called Bagni di 
Ferrata. The baths are described by Rutihus in his Itinerary, who calls 
them Tauri Thermae (the Bull's Baths), and ascribes their name to the 
fact of their having 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 Yiterbo. 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 Etruria, which is still 
known by the same name. It was probably in the number of the cities 
of Etruria that were ravaged by Sylla, and then recolonized by him. 
Numerous remains of Etruscan antiquity have been discovered there. 
^ The people of Capena, an ancient and important city of Etruria, 
wliich, after long opposing the inroads of the Komans, was reduced to 
submission shortly after the fall of Yeii, B.C. 393. It existed and held 
municipal rank till the time of the Emperor Aurehan, after wliich all 
traces of its name or existence were lost, till 1750, when Graletti fixed its 
site with great accuracy at Civitucola or San Martino, about 24 miles 
from Home. It was situate on the banks of a small river now called the 
Grammiccia, and in its territory was the celebrated * Lucus Eeronise' pre- 
viously mentioned. 
^ The new and old colonists of the city of Clusium, who probably en- 
joyed distinct municipal rights. The modern Chiusi stands on its site. 
^ The modern Fiorenze or Florence occupies the site of their city. 
^ The village of Fiesole stands on its site. Extensive remains of the • 
ancient city are still to be found. 
9 The site of Ferentinum is now uninhabited, but is still knovm by the » 
name of Ferento. The rivgrs of the ancient city are very considerable ; "T"*^ 
it was finally destroyed by the people of Yiterbo in the 12th century. 
An ancient town of Etruria near Fahsci. Cluver thinks that it was 
situate at GaUese, a village nine miles north of Civita Castellana ; but 
Dennis considers its site to have been between Borghetto on the Tiber ,
