or **GNATIA**, a city of Peucetia, a province of Apulia, situated on the coast, the inhabitants of which are ridiculed by Horace for exciting the wonder of the ignorant multitude by burning incense on an altar without the process of ignition. This city gave name to the Via Egnatia, which passed from Brundusium through Egnatia to Canusium. Its ruins are found at the Torre d'Agnazzo, where the inhabitants still pretend to show the temple alluded to by Horace.
