town or colony of Roman citizens in the Balearic Major. It is now said to be Alcudia, situated on the north-east side of the island Majorca. There was another Pollentia of the Picenum, likewise a colony. It is thought to be either the same with or near to the Urbs Salvia, but is now extinct. There was a third of Liguria, situated at the confluence of the Stura and Tanarus. Suetonius calls it a municipium, and the people Pollentina Plebs. It was famous for its abundance of black fleeces; but was afterwards, under Arcadius and Honorius, slain with a defeat rather of the Romans under Stilicho than of the Goths under Alaricus, though palliated by Claudian the poet; after which Rome was taken and set on fire. It is now called Solenza, a small town of Piedmont, not far from Altin.
