in that of the Marsi, the Anxantini^ the Atinates^, the 
Eucentes^, the Lucenses"*, and the Marruvini^ ; in that of 
the Albenses, the town of Alba on Lake Enciniis ; in that 
of the ^quiculani, the Cliternini^, and the Carseolani^ ; in 
that of the Vestini, the Angulani^, the Pinnenses, and the 
Peltuinates, adjoining to whom are the Aufinates^ Cismon- 
tani ; in that of the Samnites, who have been called 
Sabelli^*', and whom the Greeks have called Saunitse, the 
colony of old Bovianum", and that of the Undecumani, 
circumstance mentioned by Ovid in his Tristia, B. iv. cli. x. 1. 4. It is 
now called Sulmona. 
^ The people of Anxanum or Anxa, on the Sangro, now known as the 
city of Lanciano ; in the part of which, known as Lanciano Yecchio, 
remains of the ancient town are to be seen. 
2 The people probably of Atina in Samnium, which still retains the 
same name. 
3 They probably took their name from the Lake Tucinus, the modern 
Lago Fucino, or Lago di Celano. 
^ They dwelt in a town on the verge of Lake Fucinus, known as Lucus. 
^ The ruins of Marruvium may still be seen at Muria, on the eastern 
side of Lake Fucinus. 
^ It has been suggested, from the discovery of a sepulchral inscription 
there, that Capradosso, about nine miles from Bieti in the upper valley of 
the Salto, is the site of ancient Chternia. The small village of Alba retains 
the name and site of the former city of Alba Fucensis, of which there 
are considerable remains. 
7 The modern town of Carsoli is situate three miles from the site of 
ancient CarseoH, the remains of which are still visible at Civita near the 
Ostoria del Cavaliere. Ovid tells us that its climate was cold and bleak, 
and that it would not grow olives, though fruitful in corn. He also gives 
some other curious particulars of the place. — Fasti, B. iv. 1. 683 etseq. 
^ The modern Civita Sant Angelo retains nearly its ancient name as 
that of its patron saint. It is situate on a hill, four miles from the 
Adriatic, and south of the river Matrinus, which separated the Yestini 
from the territories of Adria and Picenum. 
^ The village of Ofena, twelve miles north of Popoh, is supposed to 
retain the site of ancient Aufina. Numerous antiquities have been found 
here. 
1^ Cato in his ' Origines ' stated that they were so called from the fact 
of their being descended from the Sabines. 
The site of the town of Bovianum is occupied by the modern city of 
Bojano ; the remains of the walls are visible. Mommsen however con- 
siders Bqjano to be the site of only Bovianum Undecumanorum, or " of 
the Eleventh Legion," and considers that the site of the ancient Sam- 
nite city of Bovianum Yetus is the place called Piettrabondante, near 
Agnone, twenty miles to the north, where there appear to be the remains 
of an ancient city.
