POLLENTIA (mod. Pollenzo)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 2 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
POLLENTIA (mod. Pollenzo) , an ancient town of Liguria,
Italy
 , to m. to the north of Augusta Bagiennorum, on the left bank of the Tanarus (mod. Tanaro). Its position on the road from Augusta Taurinorum to the
coast
  at Vada Sabatia, at the point of divergence of a road to Hasta (Asti) gave it military importance. Decimus
Brutus
  managed to occupy it an hour before Mark Antony in 43 S.C.; and it was here that Stilicho on the 29th of
March
  403 fought the
battle
  with Alaric which though undecided led the Goths to evacuate
Italy
 . The place was famous for its brown wool, and for its pottery. Considerable remains of ancient buildings, an
amphitheatre
 , a theatre and a temple still exist. The so-called temple of
Diana
  is more probably a
tomb
 .
See G. Franchi-Pont in Atli dell' accademia di Tornio (1805-1808), p. 321 sqq.
