ARTENA

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 666 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ARN-AUD
ARTENA , a
village
  of Italy, in the province of Rome, situated at the N.N.W. extremity of the Volscian Mountains; it is 36 m. S.E. by rail, and 24 M. direct from Rome. Pop. (1901) 5o16. On the
mountain
  above it (2073 ft.) are the fine remains of the fortifications of a city built in a very primitive style, in cyclopean blocks of local limestone; within the walls are traces of buildings, and a massive
terrace
  which supported some edifice of importance. The name of this city is quite uncertain; Ecetra is a possible suggestion. The
modern
 
village
 , which was called Monte Fortino until 1870, owes its present name to an unwarrantable identification of the site with the ancient Volscian Artena, destroyed in 404 B.C. Another Artena, which be-longed to the
district
  of
Caere
 , and lay between it and
Veii
 , was destroyed in the period of the kings, and its site is quite unknown.
See T.
Ashby
  and G. J. Pfeiffer in Supplementary Papers of the American School in Rome, i. 87 seq.
