B.] ARTIGI, two cities of Hispania Baetica. 1. In the N., on the high road from Corduba to Emerita, 36 M. P. from Mellaria and 32 from Metellinnm. Its site seems to be at or about Castuera. {It. Ant. p. 416.) — 2.AKTipi JuuBNSES (Plin-iii.l.s. 3, where the common text has Astigi : *ApTtylSj Ptol. ii. 4. §11: Alhafna)f one of the chief inland dties in the 8. of Baetica, belonging to the district of Bastetania and the conventus of Gordaba. It stood in the heart of M. Ilipula (the Sierra Nevada)^ and conmianded one of the cliief passes from the Mediterranean coast to the vallev of Granada. In the Moorish wars it was celebrated as one of the keys of Granada; and its capture by the Ghristians, Feb. 28, 1482, was a fatal blow to the Moore, whose feelings aro recorded in the "very mournful " Arabic and Spanish ballad, '*Ay! de mi AlhanuC — *^ Alas! /or myAlhama ;"well known by Byron's translation. (Ford, Handbook of Spaing V. 122.^ rp S 1 AUTISCUS ('AfWKr/c<Jj), a tributary of the He- brus in Thrace, flowing through the land of the Odrysae. (Herod, iv. 92.) ARTYMNESUS. [Pinara.] ARTYNIA. [Dascylitis.] AUUALTES (p 'Apovdrris 5f»os), a mountain of Inner Libya, placed by Ptolemy a little to the N. of the Equator, in 33*^ long, and 3^ N. lat., in a part of Gentral Africa now entirely unknown. In it were the peoples Nabathrac (lia€d$pai) and Xulio- ces (HvA(tf/ce?s Ai0loircs), the latter extending to M. Arangas. (Ptol. iv. 6. §§ 12, 20, 23.) [P. S.] ARU'CI CApoCKi). 1.

(Ptol. ii. 4. § 15 ; Plin. iii. 1. s. 3, where Sillig gives the true reading from one of the best MSS.; others have AnUi, Arundj Arungi, in fact the copyists seem to have confounded the consecutive words Artmda and Aruci: Florez, Esp. S. ix. p. 120 ; Gruter, p. 46; Ukert, ii. 1. p. 382 )— 2. (Afoara), a dty of Lusitania, 30 M. P. E. of Pax Julia. (It. Ant. p. 427). [P. S.] ARUNDA (ApovvBa: Honda), a city of the Celtici, in Hispania Baetica, in the conA'entus of Hispalis (Ptol. ii. 4. § 15; Plin. iiL 1. s. 3, ed. Sillig, comp. Akuci, Inscr. ap. Muratori, p. 1029, 1^0. 5.). Some writers place Arunda at Honda la vieja, which is usually taken, on the authority of inscriptions there, for Acdtipo ; on the ground that the inscriptions at Honda bearing the name of Arunda, have been brought from the ruins at Honda la vieja (Ford, p. 98) ; but both Pliny and Ptolemy make Acinipo and Arunda different places. [P. S.] ARU'PIUM (It Ant.: Arypium, Tab. Pent.; ^Apovrrlyoi, 'ApoxnrivoSj Strab. : Eth. Ahpovirivoi, App.; Auerspergf or nr.

(Gruter, p. 476, ARVERNL No. 1.) There are coins of Arva extant, inscribed ARYA. and H. ARVEN. (Eckhel, vol. i. pp. 14, 15.) Pliny mentions Arua among the Celtic towns in the conventus of Hispelb (iii. 1. s. 3). [P. S.] ARVAD. [Aradus.] ARVARNI (*AfM>i;apyo, a people of India intra Gangem, W. of the river Maesolus, along the river Tyna, and as far N. as the Orudi M. ; having, among other cities, the emporium and royal residence Ma- ]anga(M(ia77a), which somesnppose to be Madras, (Ptol. viL 1. §§ 14, 92.) [P. S.] ARVERNI (^'Apovipvoi, Strab. p. 190), a nation of Celtica, and in Caesar's time one of the most powerful of the Gallic nations, and the rival of the Aedui for the supremacy {B. Gr. i. 31). In the great rising of the Galli under Yerdngetoriz, b. c. 52, the Eleutheri Cadurd, Gabali, and Yellauni are mentioned (jS. (7. vii. 75) as being accustomed to yield obedience to the Arvemi It is doubtfal if Elentheri is a qualification of the name Cadnrci : it is probable that under this corrupt form the name of some other people is concealed. The reading Yellauni is also doubtful: the people aie called Yellavi in Strabo*s text (p. 190; Walckenaer, Geog. des Gatdea, <fc., vol. i. p. 339). On the SE. Caesar makes the Mons Cebenna (Ce- vennet) the boundary of the Arvemi, and their neigh^ hours on this side were the Helvii in the Provincia, afterwards called Gallia Narbonensis (J9. G. vii. 8). But the proper territory of tlie Arvemi did not ex- tend 80 &r, for the Yellavi and the Gabali lay be- tween them and the Helvii. Strabo makes their territory extend to the Loire. They seem to have possessed the valley of the Elaver (^AlUery, perhaps nearly to its junction with the Loire, and a lan;e part of the highlands of central France. The name is still perpetuated in that of the mountain r^oo of Auvergne. Their neighbours on the £. were the Aedui, on the W. the Lemovices, and on the NW. the Bituriges. The Cadurci were on the SW. Their actual limits are said to c(uncide with the old dioceses of Clermont and S. Flour, a determination which ia only useful to those who can consult the maps of the old diocesan divisions of France. The Arvemi are reprasented by Strabo as having extended their power as far as Narhonne and the frontiers of Mar- seille ; and even to the Pyrenees, the Rhine, and the Ocean. (Strab. p. 191.) If this statement is tniCf it does not represent the extent of their territory, but of their power or influence when they were the do- minant people in Gallia. In Caesar's time, as we have seen, th^states in subjection to them were only those in their immediate neighbourhood. Their pre- tended consanguinity with the Romans (Lucan, i. 427) — if it means any thing at all, and is not a blunder of Lucan — may merely indicate their arro- gance before they felt the edge of the Roman sword. Livy (v. 34) mentions Arvemi among those who ac- companied Bellovesus in the Gallic migration into Italy. The position of the Arvemi is determined with some precision by that of their capital Augustoue- metum, which Strabo calls Nemossus, which is now Clermonty the chief town of Uie Au^ergne. Caesar does not mention this place. In his time the capital of the Arvemi was Gei^ovia {B. G. vii. 36), which he unsuccessfully besieged. Wlien Hasdrubal passed into Gallia on his road to Italy, to join Hannibal, the Arvemi received him in a friendly way. (Liv. xxvii. 39.) Whetlier any of them joined him does not appear. A king of the
