	Modena - LoveToKnow 1911
		MODENA (ancient Mutina), one of the principal cities of Emilia, Italy, the chief town of the province of Modena and the seat of an archbishop, 31 m.
		Modena is the ancient Mutina in the territory of the Boii, which came into the possession of the Romans probably in the war of 215-212 B.C. In 183 B.C. Mutina became the seat of a Roman colony.
		The 4th century found Mutina in a state of decay; the ravages of Attila and the troubles of the Lombard period left it a ruined city in a wasted land.

	Aulus Hirtius - LoveToKnow 1911
		He was nominated with C. Vibius Pansa by Caesar for the consulship of 43; and after the dictator's assassination in March 44, he and his colleague supported the senatorial party against M. Antonius, with whom Hirtius had at first sided.
		The consuls set out for Mutina, where Antonius was besieging Decimus Brutus.
		Hirtius, however, compelled Antonius to retire on Mutina, where another battle took place on the 25th (or 27th) of April, in which Hirtius was slain.

		The territory around Modena (Roman Mutina, Etruscan Muoina) was inhabited by the Villanovans in the Iron Age, and later by Ligurian tribes, Etruscans, and the Gaulish Boii (the settlement itself being Etruscan).
		Mutina was refounded as a Roman colony in 183 BC, to be used as a military base by Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, causing the Ligurians to sack it in 177 BC.
		It is said that Mutina was never sacked by Attila, for a dense fog hid it (a miracle said to be provided by Saint Geminianus, bishop and patron of Modena), but it was eventually buried by a great flood in the 7th century and abandoned.

		Mutina became a colony, basing its economy on a successful wool industry.
		He found it necessary to defeat the advancing legions of the Repulican cause, under the dying Vibius Pansa Caetronianus, Aulus Hirtius and Octavian (Augustus), to ensure the eventual surrender of the starving Brutus.
		Despite their excellent central position, Antony's troops lacked the spirit needed to overcome the enemy, and Hirtius and Octavian fought their way through his lines and into his camp, while a sortie from Mutina nearly annihilated Antony and his suddenly trapped army.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus
		With his own political situation on the verge of disaster, and himself declared public enemy, defeating Decimus was a way to regain his ascent and get control of the powerful Italian Gaul.
		A second battle a few days later (Mutina on April 21) returned the same result: Antonius defeated without managing to catch Decimus and a dead consul.
		Decimus Brutus, backed by the senate, was resisting Antony under arms, and retired to the fortified town of Mutina in Cisalpine Gaul.

		So looks like the closeness of Mutina was to mutiny is just fortuitous.
		The outbreak of Spartacus' slave revolt seems to have been at Mutina (mdern day Modena); I'm wondering if that is not the origin of the word, but can't find any etymological references to it.
		Steve, It is possible that there is some connection, but I couldn’t find anything to confirm that.
