AQUAE APOLLINA´RES
AQUAE APOLLINA´RES was the name given to some warm springs between Sabate and Tarquinii, in Etruria, where there appears to have been a considerable thermal establishment. They are evidently the same designated by Martial (
6.42. 7) by the poetical phrase of “Phoebi vada.” The Tab. Pent. places them on the upper road from Rome to Tarquinii at the distance of 12 miles from the latter city, a position which accords with the modern
Bagni di Stigliano. Cluverius confounds them with the
AQUAE CAERETANAE now
Bagni del Sasso, which were indeed but a few miles distant. (Holsten.
not ad Cluver. p. 35.)
