CLITUMNUS

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 531 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
CLITUMNUS , a river in Umbria,
Italy
 , which rises from a very abundant
spring
  by the road between the ancient Spoletium and
Trebia
 , 8 m. from the former, 4 M. from the latter, and after a short course through the territory of the latter town joins the Tinia, a tributary of the Tiber. The
spring
  is well described by Pliny (Epist. viii. 8): it was visited by Caligula and by Honorius, and is still picturesquea clear pool surrounded by poplars and weeping willows. The stream was personified as a god, whose ancient temple lay near the spring, and close by other smaller shrines; the place, therefore, occurs under the name Sacraria (the shrines) as a Roman post station. The building generally known as the Tempio di Clitunno, close to the spring, is, however, an ancient tomb, converted into a Christian
church
  in the early middle ages, the decorative sculptures, which are obviously contemporary with those of S. Salvatore at Spoleto, belonging to the 4th or 6th
century
  according to some authorities, to the 12th according to others.
See H. Grisar, Nuovo bullettino di archeologia cristiana (Rome, 1895) i. 127; A. Venturi, Storia dell' erte italiana (
Milan
 , 1904),
