 220 LUSITANIA. LIUM (Plin. I. c. Santarein, Florez, Esp. S. vol. xili p. 69, xiv. p. 171); Jerabriga, 32 M. P. (Ara- briga, Plin. I. c. ; 'ApdSpiya, Ptol. ii. 5. § 7 ; A lanquer, Florez, Esp. S. vol. xiv. p. 1 74) ; Oli- sipo, 30 M. P. 4. From Ejierita, W. to Olisipo, curving round to the N. : Plagiaria, 30 M. P. (vide sup.) ; BuDUA, 8 M. P. (S. 3faria de Bedo;/a Cortes, Campo Mayor, Lapie ; the river Bodoa pre- serves the name) ; Ad vii. Aras, 12 M. P. {vid. sup.) Matusaro, 8 M. P., Abelterium, 24 M. P. (it seems that these names are inverted, and that the latter is Alter da Chuo, and the former Puente do Sara) ; Aritium Praetorium, 28 M. P. (Salvatierra, or Benavente, both close to.a;ether on the left bank of the Tagus) ; Olisipo. 38 M. P. f). From Emerita to Olisipo, W. with a curve to the S. {Itin. Ant. pp. 416 — 418): Evandriana, 8 M. P. (EvavSpia, Ptol. ii. 5. § 8) ; Dipo, 17 M. P.; Ad Adrum Flumen, 12 M. P.; Ebora, 9 M. P. {Evora}. Here is a difficulty: the last is a well-known place, but the distance is evidently much too small ; and the various attempts made to identify the intermediate positions rest on no sufficient data. The alteration of Ad Adrum, to Ad Anam h:is no sign in the MSS. to bear it out. It seems, ■on the whole, most likely that the route intended is that of the great road through Talavera la Real, Badajoz, and Elvas. From Ebora, it proceeds thus : — Salacia, 44 M. P., surnamed Urbs Im- peratoria, a municipium, with the Old Latin Franchise {Alcaqer do Sal. ; Plin. iv. 35, viii. 73 ; Jlela, iii. 1 ; Marc. Herac. p. 42 ; Inscr. ap. Gruter, pp. 13, 16; Florez, Esp. S., vol. xiii. p. 115, xiv. p. 241); Malececa, 26 M. P. (Marateca ?) ; Caecii.iana, 26 M. P. (Arjnalva, or Pinheiro, or Seixola ?) ; Catobriga, 8 M. P. (Cetobriga, Geog. Eav. iv. 43 ; Kaird^pi^, Ptol. ii. 5. § 3 ; KaardSpil, Marc. Herac. p. 42 ; Ru. on the head- land at the month of the estuaiy of the Callipus, Sado, near Setubal ; Resend. Antiq. Lm. iv. p. 210; Mentelle, p. 87); Equabona, 12 M. P. {Coyna) ; Olisipo, 12 M. P. The country S. of this road was traversed by others, connecting Ebora with Pax Julia, and both with the Anas and the S coast; namely: — 6. Qtin. Ant. pp. 426, 427.). From EsuRis (opp. Ayamonte') at the mouth of the Anas, in Baetica, W. along the coast to Balsa, 24 M. P. (Tavira) ; Ossonoba, 16 M. P. (Estoy, N. of Faro, by C. de S. Maria) ; thence the road struck inland across the mountains of the Cuneus (Algarbe), and down the valley of the Callipus (Salo), to Aranni, or Arandis, 60 II. P. (Oii- rique), Salacia, 35 M. P. (vid. sup.), and Ebora, 44 M. P. {vid. sup.). The course pursued from Ebora by Serpa, 14 M. P., Fines, 20 M. P., and Aruc<;i, 25 M. P., to Pax Julia, 30 M. P. (Beja), is so intricate as to prove an error in the Itinerary, which commentators have sought in vain to amend. 7. The direct road from EsuRis to Pax Julia is given thus (Itin. Ant. p. 431): — Myr- TiLis, 40 M. p. {Mertola); Pax Julia, 36 II. P. 8. A direct road from Salacia to Ossonoba is also mentioned, but the distance, 16 M. P., is ab- surdly wrong {Itin. Ant. p. 418). 9. From Oli- sipo a great road ran parallel to the coast, up to the mouth of the Durius and Bracara Augusta, thus {Itin. Ant. pp. 420 — 422) : Jerabriga, 30 M. p. {vid. sup.) ; Scalabis, 32 M. P. {vid. sup.) ; Sellium, 32 M. P. {Pomhal ?) ; Conem- BRICA, 34 M. P. {Coimhra. or further S.) ; Emi- NiuM, 10 M. P. {Agueda, Mintro, or Carvalhos ? LUTETIA. site very uncertain), Talabriga, 40 M. P. {Aveiro); Langobriga, 18 M. P. (near Feira); Calem, 13 M. P. {Oporto); Bracara, 35 M. P. {Braga) ; the last two, though originally Lnsi- tanian, belong, according to the common division, to the Callai'ci Bracarii. Other places, not important enough to require further notice, will be found in the lists of Ptolemy (ii. 5) and Ukert (vol. ii. pt. 1. pp. 387—399). [P. S.] LU'SIUS. [GoKTYS.] LUSO'NES (Aouo-oives), the smallest of the four tribes into which the CeUiberians were divided. Their position was about the sources of the Tagus, SW. of the territory of Numantia. (Strab. iii. p. 162; Appian, Ilisp. cc. 42, 49.) [P. S.] LUSSO'iSilUM {Aov(Tff6viov), also called Los- sunium, a town in Lower Pannonia, on the western bank of the Danube, a little to the north of the modern Pales. It was the station of a body of Dalmatian cavalry. (Ptol. ii. 16. § 4; Not. Imp.; Itin. Ant. p. 254; Tab. Pent, where it is called Lusione.) [L. S.] LUTE'TIA PARISIO'RUM {hovKoreKia, Ptol. ii. 8. § 13; AovKoroKia, Strabo, p. 194), the city of the Parisii, a Gallic people on the Seine. Lutetia is mentioned by Caesar {B. G. vi. 3), who held a meeting of the Gallic states there in the spring of B. c. 53. He calls it Lutetia Parisiorum ; and in his narrative of the operations of Labienus in B. c. 52, he says {B. G. vii. 57) that Lutetia is on an island in the Sequana {Seine). Strabo copies this description from Caesar. Vibius Sequester (p. 17 ed. Oberlin) also describes Lutecia, as he writes it, as being on an island. The Parisii were the neighbours of the Senones, There had been some kind of political union between the Parisii and the Senones before Caesar's Gallic campaigns {B. G. vi. 3), but at the time when Caesar mentions them, .they seem to have been separate states. When Vercingetorix (b. c. 52) rose against the Romans, the Senones, Parisii, and others joined him immediately ; and the Parisii sent 8000 men to oppose Caesar at Alesia {B. G. vii. 4, 75). Though a part of the little temtory of the Parisii was north of the Seine, we must conclude from Caesar's narrative that they were a Celtic people. The diocese of Paris represents the territory of the Parisii. Lutetia, like many other Gallic towns, finally took the name of the people, and was called Civitas Parisiorum, whence the modem name of Paris. Zosimus (iii. 9) calls it Parisium. It appears from the Notit. Dign. that the Romans had a fleet at Paris ; and from the words in the Notitia, " Prae- fectus classis Anderitianorum Parisiis," D'Anville conjectures that the name " Anderitiani" implies a place Anderitium, which he further supposes to be Andresi, immediately below the junction of the Seine and Oise. An inscription dug up in 1711 among other ancient monuments in the church of Noti-e Dame at Paris, contained the words " Nautae Parisiaci ;" and De Valois observes that as the people of Paris had always a fleet before their eyes, they may from this circumstance have taken the ship which appears in the anns of the city. The position of Lutetia at Paris is determined by the description of the place, the name, and the measurements of the roads from Agedincum {Sen.?), Rotomagus {Rotten), and Genabum {Orleans), which meet at Lutetia. When Caesar held the meeting of the states of Gallia at Lutetia, the town was con-
