EUPILIS LACUS
EUPILIS LACUS a small lake in the N. of Italy, at the foot of the Alps, S. of the Lacus Larius, and nearly intermediate between its two arms. Pliny speaks of it as giving rise to, or rather receiving and transmitting, the river Lambrus, still called the
Lambro. There are now two small lakes, called the
Lago di Pusiano, and
Lago d'Alserio, which communicate with the
Lambro, and are separated only by a low marshy tract, so that they probably in the days of Pliny constituted one larger lake. (
Plin. Nat. 3.19. s. 23; Cluver.
Ital. p. 410.)
