Anagmnns), an an- otT of Latium in the more extended sense of &it term, bat which ki earlier times was the capital or chief city of the Henucans. It is still called ^no^m, ■id a atuatcd en a hill to the left of the Via Latina, 41 nifes from Bome, and 9 from Ferentinum. Vii^gil cifls it *' the wealthy Anagnia" (Am. viL 684), and it appears to have in early ages enjoyed tho same kind ef pre-eniinenoe over the other cities of the Heraicans, which Alba did over those of the Latins. Eeoee aa early as the reign of Tullus Hostilius, we fiad Laevus Cispius of Anagnia leading a force of Hcxaicsii auxiliaries to the assistance of the Boroan ki^fr. (Vano ap. ¥esL s. v. SepHmoiUio, p. 351 ; Ni^uhr, voL u. y. 86.) At a later period we find C. MsrciQs Tremulus recorded as triumphing " de ^"'g'Tiip*' Hermdsqae.** (Fast Capit) No separate aencian of Anagnia occurs on occasion of the league ef the Hemicans with Bome in b. c. 486; but it is certain that it was included in that treaty, and when after nesriy two centuzies of firieodship the Hemicans at length becaooe disafiected towards their Boman aSies, it was the Anagnians who summoned a general eooril of the nation to meet in the circus beneath tfaor city. At this ongress war was declared against Bane: bat they had miscalculated their strength, and wen easily subdued by the arms of the consul C MaioQs Tremulus b. c. 306. For the prominent part they had taken on this occasion they were pcsiibni 1^ receiving the Boman civit€U without the ngkt of suAage, and were reduced to the condition of a Ptacfectura. (Liv. ix. 42, 43; Died. xx. 80; Pvtas. a. cHumidpiumj'^ 127, anda.v.jPraefectur<i, p. 233.) Tbe period at which the city obtamed the fall mnnicipal privileges, which it certainly appears to have enjoyed in the time of Cicero, is uncertain ; hit from the repeated allnsions of the great orator (arfao had himself a villa in the neighbourhood) it is clear that it still continued to be a populous and flooriihing town. Strabo also calls it ** a considerable aty." (Cic. pro Dom. 30, PhUipp, il 41, oc^ .411 so. 1; Strab. v. p. 238.) Its position on the Via Latina however exposed it to hostile attacks, aad its territory was traversed and ravaged both by Pvrrhus (who according to one account even made kmaeif master of the dty) and by Hannibal, during his ffoddeo advance from Capua upon Rome in b. c. 211. (Appian. Samn. 10. 3; Liv. xxvi. 9.) Under tbe Bomaa empire it continaed to be a municipal town of some consideration ; but though we are told that it received a Roman colony by the command of Drusus Caesar its colonial rank is not recognised either by Pliny or by extant inscriptions. (Lib. Colon, p. 230; Zumpt de Colon, p. 361; Plin. iii. 5. s. 9 ; Orell. Iwcr. 120; Gruter. p. 464. 2, 3.) Its territory was remarkably fertile (Sil. Ital. viii. 393), and the dty itself abounded in andent temples and sanctuaries, which, as well as the sacred rites con- nected with them, were preserved unaltered in the time of M. Anrelius, and are described by that em- peror in a letter to Fronto. (Front £pp, iv. 4.) It was the birthplace of Valens, the general of VitdUus. (Tac. SisL Ui. 62.) Anagrd continued throughout the middle ages to be a dty of importance, and is still an episcopal see, with a population of above 6000 inhabitants. It is remarkable that notwithstanding the pro- minent positioa held by Anagnia in early times it presents no trace of those massive ancient walls, for which all the other important dties of the Hemicans are so conapicuous : the only remains extant there are of Roman date, and of but little interest. (Dionigi, Viaggio nelLaziOj pp. 22,23; Hoare's Classical TouTf vol. i. p. 320, &c.) It is clear from the statements boUi of Cicero and M. Anrelius that the andent dty occupied the same site as the modem one, about a mile from the Via Latina on a hill of considerable devation: the station on that road called the CoMpiTUM Anagnimum, which is placed by the Itineraries at 8 miles firom Ferentinum, must have been near the site of the modem Osteria, where the road still turns off to Anagni, We learn from Livy that there was a grove of Diana there. No traces remain of the circus beneath the city, mentioned by the same author, which was known by the suigular epithet of " Maritimus." (Liv. ix. 42, xxvii. 4; Itin. Ant pp. 302, 305, 306; Tab. Pent) [E. H. B.] ANAGYRU'S (^hvarYvpovs.-ovvroii Elh, 'Avo- TvyKicnof), a demns of Attica, belonging to the tribe Erechtheis, situated S. of Aliiaa near the promon- tory Zoster. Pausanios mentions at this place a temple of the mother of the gods. The ruins of Anagyrus have been found near Vari. (Strab. p. 398; ]g^nB f .^1 J 1; Harpocrat. Suid., fiteph.

It was one wv*»', of the rivers at the mouth of which the fleet of //•//' V Nearchns anchored on the voyage from the Indus to the head of the Persian Gulf. The place where the fleet stopped at the mouth of the river was called Harmozeia. (Arrian,./mfic. c. 33.) The outlet of the Anamis was on the east side of the Persian Gulf, near 27° N. lat., and near the small island after- wards called Ormuz or Hormuz. The Anamis is the Ibrahim JRud or River. [G. L.] ANANES ("Arovcs), a tribe of Cisalpine Gauls, who, — according to Polybius (ii. 17), the only author who mentions them, — dwelt between the Padus and the Apennines, to the west of the Boians, and must consequently have been the westernmost of the Cis- padane GatUs, immediately adjoining the Ligurians. It has been conjectured, with much plausibility, tbat the Anamari of the same author (ii. 32), a name equally unknown, but whom he places opposite to the Insubres, must have been the same people. (Schweigh. ad I. c. ; Cluver./to/. p. 265.) If so, they occupied the territory on which the colony of Plu- •>-
