SATRICUM (mod. Conca)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 230 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SATRICUM (mod. Conca) , an ancient town of Latium, situated some 30 M. to the S.E. of Rome, in a low-lying region to the S. of the
Alban
  Hills, to the N.W. of the Pomptine Marshes. It was accessible direct from Rome by a road running more or less parallel to the Via Appia, to the S.W. of it. It is said to have been an
Alban
  colony: it was a member of the Latin league of 499 B.C. and became Volscian in 488. It was several times won and lost by the Romans, and twice destroyed by fire. After 346 B.C. we hear of it only in connexion with the temple of Mater Matuta. A. Nibby (Analisi della carta dei dintorni di Roma, Rome, 1848, iii. 64) was the first to fix the site upon the Iow hill, surrounded by tufa cliffs, on which were still scanty remains of walling in rectangular blocks of the same material, which is now occupied by the farm-
house
  of
Conca
 . One mile W.N.W., on the hill above Le Ferriere, remains of an archaic temple, ascribed to Mater Matuta, were discovered by excavation in 1896. The
work
  was begun under the direction of Professor H. Graillot of the University of
Bordeaux
 , member of the
French
  School of Rome, but after two weeks'
work
  was suspended by order of the Italian government, and then resumed under the supervision of their own officials. The objects discovered are in the Museo di Papa Giulio at Rome. Another Satricum lay on the right bank of the Liris, not far from Arpinum.
See H. Graillot in Melanges de l'ecole frangaise de Rome (1896), 131; and Notizie degli scavi (1896), passim. (T. As.)
