MUTINA, in Ancient Geography, a noble city of the Cispadana, made a Roman colony in the same year with
Parma, situated between the rivers Gabellos and Scultenna, on the Via Emilia. 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 Motine; and in Ptolemy Mutina, after the Roman manner.—Now Modena, a city of Lombardy, and capital of a cognominal duchy. E. Long. 11. 20.
