PORCIFERA
PORCIFERA (
Polcevera), a river of Liguria, flowing into the sea about 2 miles W. of Genua.
The name is written Porcifera by Pliny (
3.5. s. 7), the only one of the geographers who mentions it; but in a curious inscription found near
Genoa, it is variously written PORCOBERA and PROCOBERA. [
