LIGURES BAEBIANI , in See also:

ancient See also:geography, a See also:settlement of Ligurians in Samnium, See also:Italy. The towns of Taurasia and Cisauna in Samnium had been captured in 298 B.C. by the See also:consul L. See also:Cornelius Scipio Barbatus, and the territory of the former remained See also:Roman See also:state domain. In 18o B.C. 47f000 Ligurians from the neighbourhood of See also:Luna (Ligures Apuani), with See also:women and See also:children, were transferred to this See also:district, and two settlements were formed taking their names from the consuls of 181 B.c., the Ligures Baebiani and the Ligures Corneliani. The site of the former See also:town lies 15 M. N. of Beneventum, on the road to See also:Saepinum and See also:Aesernia. In its ruins several See also:inscriptions have been found, notably a large See also:bronze tablet discovered in a public See also:building in the See also:Forum bearing the date A.D. 101, and See also:relating to. the alimentary institution founded by See also:Trajan here (see See also:VELEIA). A sum of See also:money was See also:lent to landed proprietors of the district (whose names and estates are specified in the inscription), and the See also:interest which it produced formed the income of the institution, which, on the See also:model of that of Veleia, would have served to support a little over one See also:hundred children. The See also:capital was 401,800 sesterces, and the See also:annual interest probably at 5%, i.e. 20,090 sesterces (L4o18 and J201 respectively).

The site of the other settlement—that of the Ligures Corneliani—is unknown. See T. See also:
