ANTIUM, (anc. geog.) a city of the Volsci, (Livy); situated on the Tuscan sea, yet without a harbour, because they had a neighbouring hamlet, called Ceno, with a harbour, (Strabo). The Romans gained their first reputation in naval affairs against the Antiates; part of whose ships they conveyed into the arsenal of Rome and part they burnt; and with their beaks or rostra adorned the pulpit erected in the Forum, thence called Rostra, (Livy, Florus). Here stood a famous temple of Fortune, (Horace). Additon says, there were two Fortune worshipped at Antium.—It is now extinct, but the name still remains in the Capo d'Anzo.
