in Ancient Geography, a place in the territory of Reate, distant from it 25 stadia. Dionysius Halicarnassus 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), Palateum (Livy); Pallanteum (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; situated in Dalmatia on the Adriatic. Now Spalato, or Spalatro.

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