About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1846. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... Campagnano. A town near Baccano, on the road from the Posthonse to Scrofano, though not seen from the Via Cassia. It is in a secluded situation, and is rarely visited. Campagnano has 1,153 inhabitants. It gives to the Chigi family the title of Duke. Campanile. (Vide Ceri.) Campo Jemini; Campo Ascolano; Campo Selva. Three pastures of considerable extent, situated on the coast between Pratica and Ardea. The Campo Jemini, which is at the Tor Vajanica, has been supposed the site of the Aphrodisium, or Temple of Venus. The Rio Torto, (the ancient Numicus, on the banks of which was the Lucus Jovis Indigetis, ) bounds it on the south. The great wood between Pratica and Ardea, is now called Castagnola, or the Forest of Chestnuts. Campus Sacer Horatiorum. (Vide Via Appia.) Campus Solonius. The Campus Solonius, says Cicero, "est Campus agri Lanuvini;" and Livy, "Antiates in agrum Ostien*em, Ardeatem, Solonium, incursiones fecerunt." (Lib. viii.) From a passage in the Marius of Plutarch, some have imagined this Campus to be near the Via Ostien-s; but the citation .from Cicero seems too decisive for its position to be doubted. A passage from Festus is, however, equally strong: "Pomonal est in agro Solonio, via Ostiensi, ad duodecimum lapidem, diverticulo a miliario octavo." Cluver has endeavoured to reconcile these difficulties, by supposing the Campus Nonius, that country which lies between Castel Savelli and Pratica, in the vicinity of Torre Maggiore, S. AWolo, and Cerqueto. The "diverticulum" of Festus at the eighth mile, would run up the valley of Decimo; and four miles further would conduct us to the Sylva Wentina, between Decimo and Porcigliano.--Had it been between Pinzarone and Perna, Festus would have said it was near the Via Laurentina. To reconcile these diff...
