AQUÆ CUTILIÆ, a lake of the Sabines, in the territory of Reate, (Pliny); LACUS CUTILIENSIS, (Varro); with a moveable island in it, (Seneca, Pliny); supposed to be the centre of Italy, (Varro). The waters were medicinal, and extremely cold, good for a weak stomach and in weak nerves, (Pliny). Vespasian used them every summer; and there he died, (Sueton, Xiphilin from Dio). Now Lago di Contigliano.
