1 These are omitted in most editions, but if a correct reading, the 
word must signify the "people of Fregellse," and the Freginates must be 
the people of Eregense in Etruria ; although they do not appear properly 
to belong to this locaUty. 
2 "The Market of Appius." It was distant forty-three miles from 
Home, and we learn from Horace, that it was the usual resting-placo 
for travellers at the end of one day's journey from Rome. It is also 
mentioned in the account of the journey of St. Paul (Acts xxviii. 15) as 
one of the usual resting-places on the Appian way. There are now no 
inhabitants on the spot, but considerable ruins still exist, as well as the 
forty-third milestone, which is still to be seen. 
3 Probably the inhabitants of Ferentium or Ferentuium, now Ferento, 
five miles from Yiterbo, a city of Etruria, of which very considerable 
remains exist. 
* The people of Grabii, formerly one of the most famous cities of 
Latium. On its site the ruins of a mediaeval fortress now stand, known 
as Castighone. Some remains of the walls still exist. 
• The people of Interamna Lirmas, a Roman colony on the banks 
of the Liris ; and as there were several cities of the same name, it was 
. generally distinguished by the epithet " Lfrinas." Pliny no doubt calls it 
" Succasina," from its vicinity to Casinum. Its site, though uninhabited, 
is stUl called Terame, and there are numerous remains of antiquity. 
^ Probably the people of Lavinium were thus called from their sup- 
posed Trojan descent. The town was said to have been founded by JEneas 
in honour of his wife Lavinia, the daughter of Latinus. In the times of 
the Antonines it was united with Laurentum; their* ruins are to be 
seen at Casale di Copocotta. 
7 The people of Norba, a town of Latium. It is now called Norma, 
and there are still some remains of the ancient walls. 
^ Nomentum, now called La Mentana, was a Latin town, fourteen 
miles from Rome. 
^ The people of Prseneste, one of the most ancient towns of Latium. 
It was originally a Pelasgic city, but claimed a Grreek origin, and was said 
to have been built by Telegonus, the son of Ulysses. During summer it 
was much frequented by the Romans for its dehghtful coolness. The 
remains of its ancient walls are still to be seen at Palestrina. 
The people of Privernum, now Piperno, an ancient city of Latium. 
The people of Setia, now Sesse or Sezza, an ancient town of Latium, 
to the east of the Pomp tine marshes. It was famous for its wine. 
12 The people of Signia, now Segni, a town of Latium founded by Tar- 
quinius Priscus. There are stOl some remains of its walls. 
^2 The people of Suessula, now Castel di Sessola.
