TREBULA , the name of five See also:

ancient towns in See also:Italy. (1) TREBULA in Samnium, a See also:town of the Caraceni, on the See also:left See also:bank of the Sangro, some 20 M. below See also:Castel di Sangro; the See also:church of the Madonna degli Spineti near Quadri marks the site. It appears to have been a See also:municipium, but we only know of its existence in See also:Hadrian's See also:time. (2) TREBULA in See also:Campania, between Saticula and See also:Suessula. The site is probably identical with the hills bearing the See also:modern name Tripaola (about r000 ft. above See also:sea level) above the entrance to the valley of See also:Maddaloni. It is possibly this Trebula the citizens of which received Latin rights in 303 B.C. Its territory extended as far as the Via See also:Appia, and its See also:place was taken in imperial times by the Vicus Novanensis, on the road itself, near Suessula. (3) TREBULA BALLIENSIS (mod. Treglia), also in Campania, 22 M. See also:north of See also:Capua, in the mountains, about r000 ft. above sea-level. It revolted to See also:Hannibal and was reduced to obedience by See also:Fabius. Remains of walls, See also:aqueduct and tombs exist. Its territory was mentioned in the projected distributions of See also:land in See also:Cicero's time: and its See also:wine was well thought of under See also:Nero.

It was a municipium. (4) TREBULA MUTUESCA in the See also:

Sabine See also:country, 2 m. See also:east of the point where the Via See also:Caecilia diverges from the Via See also:Salaria. It lies about i m. See also:south-See also:west of the modern Monteleone, and an See also:amphitheatre and other remains are visible. In a See also:dedication made there by the See also:consul See also:Mummius in 146 B.C. it is spoken of as a vicus, but when the praefecturae were abolished it became a municipium. The See also:post station of Vicus Novus on the Via Salaria (mod. Osteria Li Massacci) belonged to its territory (see N. Persichetti in Romisclze Mitteilungen, 1898, p. 193). (5) TREBULA SUFFENASiS generally placed 6 m. south of Reate (mod. See also:Rieti) on the Via Quinctia, but is with considerable See also:probability identified with Ciciliano, xo m. east of See also:Tivoli, 2030 ft. above sea-level, by O. Cuntz (Jahreshefte See also:des oesterr. See also:arch.

Instituts, 1899, ii. 89), who combines the See also:

evidence of See also:inscriptions and of the description in See also:Martial (v. 71), with a new See also:interpretation of the Itineraries. There are remains of an ancient road, with substructures in rough polygonal See also:work ascending to it in zigzags. (T.
