NOMENTUM (mod. Mentana)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 735 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NOMENTUM (mod. Mentana) , an ancient town of
Italy
 , 14 in. N.E. of Rome by the Via Nomentana. It was a Latin town, but was by some considered to be Sabine, and, like Fidenae and Ficulea, was excluded from the first region by
Augustus
 , who made the Anio its northern boundary. Nomentum received the civitas sine sujJragio after the last war of the Latins against Rome (338 B.C.); in its municipal constitution the
chief
 
magistrate
  even in imperial times bore the
title
  of dictator. Pliny and Martial often praise the fertility of its neighbourhood. The site of the town is well protected by ravines except on the
east
 ; no ancient remains exist in situ, but
inscriptions
  and other
relics
  have been found.
See T.
Ashby
  in Papers of the British School at Rome, iii. 68 sqq.
