VEROLI (anc. Verulae)

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 1033 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VEROLI (anc. Verulae) , a town and episcopal see of the province of Rome,
Italy
 , to m. by road N.E. of Frosinone, 187o ft. above sea-level. Pop. (19o1) 2622 (town);' 12,655 (commune). The town is situated on a hill in a strong position with a fine view, on the site of the ancient Hernican town of Verulae, 7 M. S.E. of Aletrium. It retains remains of its ancient polygonal enceinte, especially near the summit of the hill, later occupied by a medieval
castle
 . It is hardly mentioned in history: we know that it became a
municipium
  in 90 B.C. The
cathedral
 
treasury
  contains the breviary of S. Louis of Toulouse, and some interesting reliquaries, one in
ivory
  with bas-reliefs, and two in the
Gothic
 
style
 , of silver gilt.
