CORIOLI , an See also:

ancient Volscian See also:city in See also:Latium adiectum, taken, according to the See also:Roman See also:annals in 493 B.C., with Longula and Pollusca, and retaken (but see above) for the See also:Volsci by Gains Marcius See also:Coriolanus, its See also:original conqueror, who, in disgust at his treatment by his countrymen, had deserted to the enemy. After this it does not appear in See also:history, and we hear soon after-wards (443 B.c.) Of a dispute between See also:Ardea and Alicia about some See also:land which had been See also:part of the territory of Corioli, but had at an unknown date passed to See also:Rome with Corioli. The site is apparently to be sought in the N.W. portion of the See also:district between the See also:sea, the • See also:river See also:Astura and the See also:Alban Hills; but it cannot be more accurately fixed (the See also:identification with See also:Monte Giove, S. of the See also:Valle-Aricciana, rests on no sufficient See also:evidence), and even in the See also:time of See also:Pliny it ranked among the lost cities of Latium.
