MATERNUM
MATERNUM a town of Etruria, known only from the Tabula Peutingeriana, which places it on the Via Clodia, between Tuscania (
Toscanella) and Saturnia, 12 miles from the former, and 18 from the latter city.
It probably occupied the same site as the modern village of
Farnese. (Cluver.
Ital. p. 517; Dennis,
Etruria, vol. i. p. 463.)
