MUTINA, in Ancient Geography, a noble city of the Cispadana, made a Roman colony in the same year with
Parma, situated between the rivers Gabelius and Scultenna, on the Via Æmilia. Here D. Brutus being besieged by Antony, was relieved by the consuls Hirtius and Pansa. The Greeks called it Mutine; except Polybius, in whom it is Mutine; and in Ptolemy Mutina, after the Roman manner.—Now Modena, a city of Lombardy, and capital of a cognominal duchy. E. Long. 11. 20.
