LABICI

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 5 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
LABICI , an ancient city of Latium, the
modern
  Monte Compatri, about 17 m. S.E. from Rome, on the northern slopes of the
Alban
  Hills, 1739 ft. above sea-level. It occurs among the thirty cities of the Latin League, and it is said to have joined the Aequi in 419 B.C. and to have been captured by the Romans in 418. After this it does not appear in history, and in the time of Cicero and
Strabo
  was almost entirely deserted if not destroyed. Traces of its ancient walls have been noticed. Its
place
  was taken by the respublicaLavicanorum Quintanensium, the post-station established in the
lower
  ground on the Via
Labicana
  (see
LABICANA
 , VIA), a little S.W. of the
modern
 
village
  of Colonna, the site of which is attested by various
inscriptions
  and by the course of the road itself.
See T.
Ashby
  in Papers of the British School at Rome, i. 256 sqq. (T. As.)
