It is evidently thia Caelia Ibat ia enumeratfd b; prnj, togclherwilh Lnpiae and Bmndnnain, ainonf! the cities of Calabria (iii. II. s. 16), as well lu tlic " Caelinos ager" mentioned bjFronlinns among the " civitates proiinciae Calabriie " (Lib. Colon, p. 362), thoai;h, Aran the i-onfusion made bj both vtrilera in r^ard to Ibe frtintieis of Apulia and Ca- labria, these passaj^ miglit have been readitj re- ferred to the Caelia in Peucelia. The evidence is. however, conclusive that there were two placea nf the same name, aa above described. Numismatic wrilera ars not agreed In which of the two belong the c«ns with the inscription KAtAlNAN, of which there are eeveral varielia. These have been ccno- rallT ascribed to the Calabrian citj; but Mommsen (/. c.) is of opinion that the; belong rather to the Caelia near Bari. being freqnentlj fonnd in that neighbourhood. (See also Millingen, Nam. dr. tlta- lU. p. 149.) The attempt to establish a distinction belireen the Iwo places, founded on the orlhographj of the names, and to call (he one Caeliu or Caelium, the other Celia. is certainl; onlenable. f E. H.

(Evkhel. vol. i. p. 269 ; Sestini, Letltre Namiimatkke, vol. i. p. 4.) [E.H.B.] CAENAE <Ka.K.l, Xen. Awb. ii. 4. § 28). a town of some importance on the western bank of the Tigris; accoiding lo Xenopbun. .^4 parauuig) N. of 0|HS, and south of the river /ubatna, or Ltaer Zah. Its eiact pusilion eannot be determined, as Ik ■■ Zdb; but it CAENA, a town of Sirilj mentioned onlj in the Ilinemr)' of Anloninns, wbiiji writes llie name Cena, and phices it on Ibe tiW. cuast of the inland, 18 udles W. of Agiigentnm. (llin. Ant. p. 88.) Though the name ts not (bund in anj earlier author, nu- mismatista an generallj' agre«i to assign to it the cans with the inscription KAINON, one of which is itpiesentBl below. These coins, which are found in ronsidemble numbers in Kicilj, were previousij aarribed tu the island of Caume, mentioned by I'lin; (iii. 8. s. 14) among the smaller islands be- tween Sicily and Africa, and generallv identified with the httle islet now called Cub.', off 'the Gulf of Hippo on the coast of Africa. Bal we have no reason to suppose that this barren rock ever was even inhabited, mucli less that it eontuined a city capable of striking coins; and the Greet legend of ttioee in question, as well as their worLminship, been conjectured that it ia repicsenled by a now ralleil 5«tn. (Mannert. vol.ii. p.244.) [V.] CAENE'POLIS or CAENE (Ko.^ i.iA,r, Itoi. iv. 5. § 72; Geoe. Itav. p. 104), the modem CAen^ was (he southernmost town of the Fanopi>lite nome in the Thebaid of Egypt. It stood upon (be CK-Iem bank of the Nile, 2 geographical miles KW. of CoptoB. Herodotus (ii. 91) mentions a town Nea- polis (Ntii wiHii), near Chenimis in Upper Egypt, which is probably the same Willi Caenrpnlis. (Ci»np. Mannert, vol. i. 1, p. 371.) Panripolis, which waa north of Cheinmis, at ouc periud went by the name of Caene or Caime-i»liB. [W. B. D.] CAKNE'POLIS. [Taenarum,] CAE'NtCA (Kain(4), the name of one of the dis- tricts into which Thrace was diviiled by tiie Itomans. It was situated on the Euiiue (I'tol. iii. 11. § 9), and probably derived its name from the Thracian tribe of the Caehi or Caknici, who dwelt Mwcen the V e Eui (Liv. Steph. H. (. V. Kami.) [L. S.] CAEMGGNSES, a people in Gallia Narbonen>is, an"oppidum Latinum," as Pliny (iii. 4)catlstltem; probably on the river Cacnus of Ptdeniy, which he places between the eastern mouth of the Rhone and Massilia ( J/or«i/(e). There are no means of filing the position of the Caenus, which may be the river of Aix that flows into the Etattg de Berrt, or some of [Agagnan. It has been suggested that the name in Pliny shuuld be Cacnicnaes. [G. I..] CAENl'NA (Kaitlm ; Eth. Kai»i'T7,i, Caeni- nensis), a very ancient dty of Lalium, mentioned in (he eariy buxorj of Rome. Diouyslns (ells us (ii. 35) that it was one of the towns originally hdiabited by (he Siculi, and wresled &om them by the Abo- rigines; and in another passage (i. 79) incidentally alhides to it ai existing before the foundation of Bome. It was, indeed, one of the Erst of the neigh- bouring petty cities which came into enlliMun with the risuig power of Kome, having taken up anus, togelher with Antemnae and Cnistmnetium, to avenge the tape of the wruiien at the Consualia. The Caeiiinenses were the first to meet the onus uf Dmulua, who defeated them, slew tln'ir liing Acron Kli his own liund, and took the city by assault. (Liv. i. 10; Dionys. ii. 32, 33; I'lut. Rom. 16.) An«r this «« ore told that be sent a colony to iho city, but the greater part of the inha- mla niigmied to Rome. (Diouys. iL 35.)
