ALBIONARUM LUCUS

a grove somewhere on the right bank of the Tiber, consecrated to the Albionae (Fest. 4: Albiona ager trans Tiberim dicitur a luco Albionarum quo loco bos alba sacrificabatur), who were probably connected with the protection of the fields (RE i. 1316; Roscher i. 223; HJ 626; Wissowa, Rel. 245).
