Antium

Common card · No. 348925

Antium was an ancient coastal town in Latium, south of Rome. An oppidum was founded by people of Latial culture (11th century BC or the beginning of the 1st millennium BC), which then became the main stronghold of the Volsci until it was conquered by the Romans. The territory of Roman Antium corresponded almost entirely to modern Anzio and Nettuno. In some versions of Rome's foundation myth, Antium was founded by Anteias, a son of Odysseus by Circe.
