MAESIA SILVA
MAESIA SILVA a forest of Etruria, in the territory of the Veientines, which was conquered from them by Ancus Marcius. (
Liv. 1.33.) Its site cannot be determined with certainty, but it was probably situated on the right bank of the Tiber, between Rome and the sea-coast. Pliny also notices it as abounding in dormice. (
Plin. Nat. 8.58. s. 83.)
