or LITERUM, in Ancient Geography, a city of Campania, situated at the mouth of the Clanis, which is also called Liturnus, between Cumae and Vulturnum. It received a Roman colony at the same time with Puteoli and Vulturnum; was improved and enlarged by Augustus; afterwards forfeited its right of colonyship, and became a prefecture. Hither Scipio Africanus the Elder retired from the mean envy of his ungrateful countrymen; and here he died, and was buried: though this last is uncertain, he having a monument both here and at Rome. No vestige of the place now remains.
