COTTII REGNUM

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 253 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
COTTII REGNUM , a
district
  in the north of Liguria, including a considerable
part
  of the important road which led over the pass (6119 ft.) of the Alpis Cottia (Mont Genevre) into Gaul. Whether Hannibal crossed the Alps by this route is disputed, but it was certainly in use about too B.C. (see PUNIC WARS). In 58 B.C. Caesar met with some resistance on
crossing
  it, but seems after-wards to have entered into friendly relations with Donnus, the king of the
district
 ; he must have used it frequently, and refers to it as the shortest route. Donnus's son Cottius erected the triumphal
arch
  at his
capital
  Segusio, the
modern
 
Susa
 , in honour of
Augustus
 . Under Nero, after the death of the last Cottius, it became a province under the
title
  of "Alpes Cottiae," being governed by a procurator Augusti, though it still kept its old name also.
