- ↑ Once a considerable city of Latium. The modern city of San Germano has risen on its ruins, while the name of Monte Casino has been retained by the monastery founded 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 Il Piglio.
- ↑ The people of Cereatæ, a town of Latium. It is supposed that the ancient monastery of Casamari occupied its site.
- ↑ The 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 Castrimœnium, a colony of Sylla. 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 modern city of Marino.
- ↑ The people of Cingulum, a city of Picenum, the site of which is occupied by the modern Cingoli.
- ↑ It is conjectured that Fabia 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 modern Frosinone occupies its site.
- ↑ The people of Ferentinum, a city of the Hernici; the present city of Ferentino stands on its site. The ruins are very extensive.
- ↑ Probably the people of Fregellæ, an ancient city of the Volscians. Its site is now unknown, but it was probably on the banks of the Liris, opposite to the modern Ceprano.
- ↑ 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. Aurelius. Its site was probably on the modern domain of Cesarini, though some separate the ancient Latin city from the Roman town, and fix the locality of the former on the hill called Monte Gentile, or that of the Torre Lupara.
