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).
