 1230 TRICCIANA 330.) Trihlcala is now one of tlie largest towns in tliis part of Greece. The castle occupies a hill pro- jecting from the last falls of the mountain of Khassia ; but the only traces of the ancient city which Leake could discover were some small remains of Hellenic masonry, forming part of the wall of the castle, and some squared blocks of stone of the same ages dispersed in different jiarts of the town. (Leake, Northern Greece, vol. i. p. 425, seq., vol. iv. p. 287.) TRICCIA'NA, a place in Paimonia, in the valley called Cariniana {It. Ant. p. 267). It is probably the same as the Gurtiana noticed in the Peut. Table, as the difference in the statements about the dis- tances amounts only to 2 miles. [L. S.] TRICESIMAE, in Gallia, one of the places men- tioned by Ammianus Jlarcellinus (sviii. 2) in the list of those places along the Rhenish frontier which Julian repaired. Ammianus mentions Tri- cesimae between Quadriburgium and Novesium. [QlIADRlIilJRGIUM.] [G. L.] TRICESIMUM, AD, in Gallia. D'Anville ob- serves that the ancient Itins. contain many positions with similar names, which names of places are de- rived from the distances which they indicate from the principal towns ; for the distances within the de- pendent territory were measured from the principal towns. This Tricesimum is measured from Narbo {N^arbonne), as the Jerusalem Itin. shows, on the road to Toulouse, through Carcassonne. Trebes on tiie canal of Languedoc may represent the name ; and Tricesimum may be near that place. [G. L.] TRICHO'NIS LACUS. [Aetolia, p. 64, a.] TRICHO'NIUM {Tpix^viov: Eth. Tpix'^viivs),^. town of Aetolia, from which the lake Trichonis de- rived its name. [Respecting the lake, see Vol. L p. 64, a.] Its position is imcertain. Leake places it S. of the lake at a place called Gavala, and Kiepert, in his map E. of tlie lake. But since Strabo mentions it along with Stratus as situated in a fertile plain, it ought probably to be placed N. of the lake (Strab. x. p. 450; Pol. V. 7; Steph. B. s. v.). It was evidently a place of importance, and several natives of this town are mentioned in history. (Pol. iv. 3, v. 13, xvii. 10; Pans. ii. 37. § 3; Leake, Nortliern Greece, vol. i, p. 155.) TRICOLO'NI. [JIegalopolis, p. 309.] TRICO'MIA (TpiKw^i'a), a place in the eastera part of Phrygia, on the road from Dorylaeum to Apamea Cibotus (Ptol. v. 2. § 22 ; Tab. 'Peut), is placed by the Table at a distance of 28 miles from Jlidaeum and 21 from Pessinus. [L. S.] TRICORII (TpiK(5pioi), a people between the Rhone and the Alps. Hannibal in his march from the Rhone to the Alps pas.sed into the country of the Tricorii, as Livy .says [Tkicastini]. Strabo (iv. pp. 185, 203) says in one passage that above the Cavares are " the Vocontii and Tricorii and Iconii and Meduli," from which we learn that he considered the Tricorii as neighbours of the Vocontii ; and in another passage he says, " after the Vocontii are the Iconii and Tricorii, and next to them the Meduli, who occupy the highest summits of the Alps." Some geographers conclude that the Tricorii must be on the Drac, a branch of the here, in the southern part of the diocese of Grinobk, But if the Tricorii were in the valley of the Drac, we do not therefore admit that Hannibal's march to the Alps was through that vallev. [G. L.] TRICORNE'NSII. [Tkicornium.] TiilCO'RNIUM (TpiK6pviov, Ptol. iii. 9. § 3), or Tkiuousia Castra {Itin. Ilieros, p. 564), a town TRIGUNDUM. in the territory of the Tricornensii, a people of Upper Moesia, on the borders of Illyria.. Variously identified with Ritoph and Tricorni or Kolum- bacz. [T. H. L>.] TRICORYTHUS [Marathq.n.] TRICRANA (Tp'iKpava), an island off the coast of Hermionis in Argolis (Paus. ii. 34. § 8), perhaps the same as the Tiparenus of Pliny. [Tipare>!US.] TRICRE'NA. [PiiENEUs, p. 595, a.] TRIDENTI'NI {TpiBiVT'ivoi), an Alpine tribe occupying the southern part of Rhaetia, in the north of Lacus Benacus, about the river Athesis, (Strab. iv. p. 204; Plin. iii. 23.) They, with many other Alpine tribes, were subdued in the reign of Augustus. [L. S.] TRIDENTUJI or TRIDENTE (JpiUvn : Trento or Trent^, the capital of the Tridentini in the south of Rhaetia, on the eastern bank of the Athesis, and on the highroad from Verona to Veldidena. (Plin. iii. 23; Justin, xx. 5; It. Ant. pp. 275, 281; Paul. Diac. i. 2, iii. 9, iv. 42, v. 36; Flor. iii. 3; Ptol. iii. 1. § 31; Tub. Peut.) The town is said to have derived its name from the trident of Neptune, which is still shown fixed in the wall of the ancient church of S. Vigil. The jilace .seems to have been made a Roman colony (Orelli, Inscript. Nos. 2183, 3744, 3905, 4823). Theodoric the Great surrounded Tridentum with a wall, of which a considerable portion still exists. (Comp. Pallhausen, Beschreib. der Rom. Ileerstrasse von Verona nachAvffsbuir/, p. 28, foil.; Benedetto Giovanelli, Discorso sopra mi Iscrizione Trentina, Trento, 1824, and by the same author, Trento, Citta de' Rezj e Colonia Roviana, Trento, 1825.) [L. S.] TRIE'RES (Tpivpvh Polyb. v. 68; Strab. xvi. p. 754), a small fortified place in Phoenicia, on the northern declivity of Lebanon, and about 12 miles distant from Tripolis. It is in all probability the same place as the Tridis of the J tin. Ilierosol. (p. 583). Lapie identifies it with Enty, others with Belmont. [T. H. D.] TRIE'RUM (Tpii]po}vor Tpir}pov &Kpov, Ptol. iv. 3. § 13), a headland of the Regio Syrtica in Africa, Propria. Ritter {Erdk. i. p. 928) identifies it with the promontory of Cephalae mentioned by Strabo (xvii. p. 836), the present Cape Cefalo or Mesurata. Ptolemy indeed mentions this as a separate and ad- joining promontory; but as Cefalo still exhibits three points, it is possible that the ancient names may be connected, and refer only to this one cape. (See Blaquiere, Letters from the Meditei^anean, I p. 18; Di-lla Cella, Viaggio, p. 61.) [T. H. D.] TRIFANUM. [Vescia.] TRIGABOLI. [Padus.] TRIGISABIUJI, a town of Noricum, mentioned only in the Pouting. Table, as situated not far from the mouth of the river Trigisamus {Traseti), which fluws into the Danubius. It .still bears the name of Traismaur. (See Muchar, Norikum, vol. i. p. 269.) [L. S.] TRIGLYPHON {TpiyKvcpov -rh Koi TpiKiyyov, Ptol. vii. 2. § 23), the metropolis and royal residence (/SacriAf 101/) of Cirrhadia, a district at the NE. corner of tlw. Bill/ (if Bengal. It is doubtless the present Tipperah ( Tripicra), which is situated on the G umpty {Goimiti), a small river which flows into the Brach- maputra near its mouth. [^'^•3 TL'IGUNDUM, a place in the territory of the Callaici Lucenses, in Gallaecia. (Hispania Tarr.a- conensis). {Itin. Ant. ■^.A2A.') Variously identified with Berreo and Arandon. [T. II. D.]
