ANTIUM, in Ancient Geography, 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 rostrum adorned the pulpit erected in the forum, thence called Rostra, (Livy, Florus.) Here stood a famous temple of Fortune, (Horace). Addison says, there were two Fortunes worshipped at Antium.—It is now extinct, but the name still remains in the Capo d'Anno.
