LIGURES BAEBIANI

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 680 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LIGURES BAEBIANI , in ancient geography, a
settlement
  of Ligurians in Samnium,
Italy
 . The towns of Taurasia and Cisauna in Samnium had been captured in 298 B.C. by the
consul
  L.
Cornelius
  Scipio Barbatus, and the territory of the former remained Roman state domain. In 18o B.C. 47f000 Ligurians from the neighbourhood of Luna (Ligures Apuani), with
women
  and children, were transferred to this
district
 , and two settlements were formed taking their names from the consuls of 181 B.c., the Ligures Baebiani and the Ligures Corneliani. The site of the former town lies 15 M. N. of Beneventum, on the road to Saepinum and Aesernia. In its ruins several
inscriptions
  have been found, notably a large bronze tablet discovered in a public building in the Forum bearing the date A.D. 101, and relating to. the alimentary institution founded by Trajan here (see
VELEIA
 ). A sum of money was lent to landed proprietors of the
district
  (whose names and estates are specified in the inscription), and the
interest
  which it produced formed the income of the institution, which, on the model of that of
Veleia
 , would have served to support a little over one hundred children. The
capital
  was 401,800 sesterces, and the annual
interest
  probably at 5%, i.e. 20,090 sesterces (L4o18 and J201 respectively). The site of the other settlementthat of the Ligures Cornelianiis unknown.
See T. Mommsen in Corp. Inscr. Lat. ix. (Berlin, 1883), 125 s q. (T. As.
