VILLA COPONIANA
the villa of a certain Coponius, perhaps one of the two
brothers, Gaius and Titus, contemporaries of Cicero (
RE iv. 1215). It
is mentioned once (Cic. ad
Att. xii. 3. 2 :
Coponianam villam et veterem
et non magnam novi, silvam nobilem, fructum autem neutrius), and may
possibly have been included in the
HORTI DRUSI (q.v.; cf. Tyrrell-
Purser, Correspondence of
Cicero v. 40).
