AQUAE MATTIACAE
AQUAE MATTIACAE or
FONTES MATTIACI, a watering place with hot springs, in the country of the Mattiaci, that is, the district between the Maine and the Lahn. (
Plin. Nat. 31.17; Amm. Marcell. 29.4.)
The place is generally believed to be the same as the modern
Wiesbaden, where remains of Roman bath-buildings have been discovered. (See Dahl in the
Annalen des Vereins für Nassauische Alterthumskunde, vol. i. part 2, p. 27, seq.)
