Capena - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | CAPENA, an ancient city of southern Etruria, frequently mentioned with Veii and Falerii. |
 | | According to Cato it was a colony of the former, and in the wars betweenVeii and Romeitappears as dependent upon Veii, after the fall of which town, however, it became subject to Rome. |
 | | But there are difficulties in the way of this assumption, and it is more probable that the Lucus Feroniae is to be sought at or near Nazzano, where, in the excavation of a circular building which some conjecture to have been the actual temple of Feronia, inscriptions relating to a municipality were found. |
