VIRACELLUM
VIRACELLUM (
Βιράκελλον, Ptol.), a town of Etruria, mentioned only by Ptolemy (
3.1.47), who places it among the inland towns in the NW. corner of that country.
It is supposed by Cluverius to be represented by
Verrucola or
Verrucchia in the mountains between the
Serchio and the
Magra (Cluver.
Ital. p. 75), but the identification is very doubtful.
