  Lanuvium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lanuvium (more frequently Lanivium in Imperial Roman times, modern Civita Lavinia) is an ancient city of Latium, some 32 km southeast of Rome, a little southwest of the Via Appia.
Lanuvium was situated on an isolated hill projecting south from the main mass of the Alban Hills, and commanding an extensive view over the low country between it and the sea.
It was one of the members of the Latin League, and remained independent until conquered by Rome in 338 BC.

Lanuvium lag auf einem alleinstehenden Hügel an der Südseite der Albaner Berge mit einem beherrschenden Blick über die Ebene bis hin zum Meer.
Anfangs erhielt Lanuvium nicht das römische Bürgerrecht, später dann doch; noch in kaiserlicher Zeit trugen der oberste Magistrat und der Gemeinderat die Titel ''Diktator'' beziehungsweise ''Senat''.
Lanuvium besaß viele weitere Tempel, die Antoninus Pius, der ebenso wie Commodus in der Nähe geboren wurde, restaurieren ließ.

The bizarre chronology of the poem (Cynthia still lives despite the appearance of her ghost in 4.7) and its internal rift (the shaky relation between the Lanuvium fertility ritual and the Esquiline "riot" caused by Propertius' foreclosed infidelity) should be "viewed as a principled textual strategy" (115).
Her contradictions thus constitute a symptom of the "logical impasse at the heart of the sexual relation" (119), an impossibility that affects the poem's structure and displaces sexuality so that it permeates everywhere but truly succeeds nowhere.
While Janan's argument does cohere (in its long form), it might have benefited from a more explicit distinction between effects of the poem that derive from a "principled textual strategy" (115), implying Propertius' intention, and those that, though not necessarily intended, are elucidated by a Lacanian view of the subject and his relation to language.

Tito Aurelio Antonino nasce a Lanuvium, nel Lazio, nell'86, da famiglia narbonese di Nemausus (Nimes, in Francia meridionale).
Sia il padre che il nonno ricoprono la carica di console, il primo fu anche prefetto di città; madre di Antonino fu Arria Fadilla, anch'ella di padre narbonese.
L'imperatore stesso, per tutta la durata del proprio regno, non si sposterà mai dalla Penisola, e vivrà sempre nella propria villa di campagna a Lanuvium.

 Antoninus Pius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Almost certainly, he earned the name "Pius" because he compelled the Senate to deify Hadrian.
He was the son of Titus Aurelius Fulvus, consul in 89 whose family came from Nemausus (modern-day Nîmes), and was born near Lanuvium.
After the death of his father, he was brought up under the care of Arrius Antoninus, his maternal grandfather, a man of integrity and culture, and a friend of Pliny the Younger.

He chose this type because his family was originally of Lanuvium, where he perhaps possessed the estate called Prociliana, and by corruption Porcilien, which has become celebrated for the great number of monuments discovered there.

Rites in honour of Juno Sospita: Juno Sospita was originally worshipped in Lanuvium, where she seems to have had started out as a fertility goddess of some sort and evolved into a warrior protectrix of the city.
When Lanuvium was granted Roman citizenship in 338 B.C., the cult was also given special status and place under the control of the pontifices, who would annually perform a sacrifice to her.
There also seems to have been a ritual whereby blindfolded girls would enter her grove to feed barley cakes to the sacred snakes therein.

 Regio II - Insula VII - Teatro (II,VII,2)
Perhaps there is a relation with the curious re-founding of Ostia by Commodus as Colonia Felix Commodiana, probably in the years 190-192 AD (he also re-founded, with his own name, Lanuvium - where he was born -, and Rome).
Commodus had close ties with gladiators, and he may well have appeared in the theatre as gladiator, or killing wild animals, as he did in Rome and Lanuvium.
Commodus associated himself with Hercules, and in the theatre a stucco relief of Hercules, crowned by Victoria, was found.

Antoninus was born in September, AD 86 in the city of Lanuvium very near Rome.
Despite his family heritage originating from Narbonensis (the southern coast of Gaul), his grandfather (Titus Aurelius Fulvus) had risen to the consulship twice and his father (Aurelius Fulvus) had served once in the same capacity.

He saw that it was necessary for Milo to go to Lanuvium on the very day in which he did go- therefore, he anticipated him.
For even if he had not asked anyone beyond his own intimate friend Titus Patina, he could have ascertained from him that on that particular day a priest must absolutely be appointed at Lanuvium by Milo as the dictator there.
But there were plenty more people from whom he could easily learn that; for instance, all the people of Lanuvium.

We have two different versions of the origin of Lanuvium, one handed down by Appian (II AD) and the other by Fabius Pictor (II BC).
Both legends are linked to the Greek tradition of nostoi: Appian tells us that Lanuvium was founded by Diomedes coming back from Troy, while an inscription in Sicily based on the authority of Pictor testifies that the founder of the city was the eponymous Lanuvius/Lanoios, Aeneas' ally.
Briquel maintains that -- even if it may appear less probable -- Appian' version is the oldest one, whereas the Lanuvius/Lanoios-legend may have been created in order to establish a better relationship with Rome thanks to the link with Aeneas.

It must have been an exaggeration, no doubt, to say, as one author of the first century said, that "slaves had no religion, or had only foreign religions" (Tacitus, "Annals", XIV, xliv): many were members of funerary collegia under the invocation of Roman divinities (Statutes of the College of Lanuvium, "Corp.
