RIPA VEIENTANA

* the right bank of the Tiber, northwards from the pons Aurelius. Although this name is found only in inscriptions of the empire (CIL vi. 31547, 31548b, 31555 ; BC 1887, 15; Mitt. 1889, 286-287), it was probably in use from very early times (cf. litus Etruscum, Hor. Carm. i. 2. 14; Lydia ripa, Stat. Silv. iv. 4. 4), and may then have included much of the right bank between Rome and the sea (HJ 651).
