LITANA SILVA (anc. geog.); a wood of the Boii, in the Gallia Togata, or Cispadana, where the Romans, under L. Posthumius Albinus (whose head the Boii cut off, and carried in triumph into their most sacred temple), had a great defeat, of twenty-five thousand scarce ten escaping (Livy). Holstenius conjectures, that this happened above the springs of the Scultenna, in a part of the Apennine, between Cersiniam and Mutina. Now Selva di Lago.
