COLLATIA

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
COLLATIA , an ancient town of Latium, ro m. E. by N. of Rome by the Via Collatina. It appears in the legendary history of Rome as captured by Tarquinius Priscus. Livy tells us it was taken from the Sabines, while Virgil speaks of it as a Latin colony. In the time of Cicero it had lost all importance; Strabo names it as a mere
village
 , in private hands, while for Pliny it was one of the lost cities of Latium. The site is undoubtedly to be sought on the hill now occupied by the large medieval fortified farmhouse of Lunghezza, immediately to the
south
  of the Anio, which occupies the site of the, citadel joined by a narrow neck to the tableland to the
south
 -
east
  on which the city stood: this is protected by wide valleys on each side, and is isolated at the south-
east
  end by a deep narrow valley enlarged by cutting. No remains are to be seen, but the site is admirably adapted for an ancient
settlement
 . The road may be traced leading to the south end of this tableland, being identical with the
modern
  road to Lunghezza for the middle
part
  of its course
only. The current indentification with Castellaccio, 2 M. to the south-east, is untenable.
