(anc. geog.) a place in the territory of Reate, distant from it 25 stadia. Dionysius Haliarnassus reckons it one of the first towns of the Aborigines, and from it Varro accounts for the name of the Mons Palatinus; namely, that a colony from Palatium settled there.

(Pliny), Pallantium (Pausanias), Palantum (Livy); Pallantum (Solinus). This last is the true writing; the great grandfather of Evander, from whom it took its name, being called Pallas, not Palas: A town of Arcadia, which concurred to form Megalopolis (Pausanias). From it the Palatium, or Mons Palatinus, takes also its name, according to Virgil and Pliny.

PALATIUM Diocletiani; the villa of Diocletian, near Salona, where he died, (Eusebius). Afterwards called Spalatum; which rose to a considerable city from the ruins of Salona; situate in Dalmatia on the Adriatic. Now Spalato, or Spalatro.

PALATIUM Luculli, (Plintarch), or Villa Luculli; a place between Misenum and Baiae in Campania, of wonderful structure. Now in ruins, and called Piscina Mirabile.
