CLATERNA
(Ozzano) Emilia-Romagna, Italy.
A Roman municipium on the Via Aemilia to the E
of Bononia, on the Quaderna. The site is in the Maggio
section of the present town.
Excavations undertaken N and S of the Via Aemilia
have brought to light mostly private buildings from the
Late Republican and Early Imperial ages. Probably a vast
area of cobblestone pavement discovered in connection
with the Via Aemilia was the forum of the city, which
seems to have had a regular plan.
