Maternum
Maternum a town of Etruria, known only from the Tabula Peutingeriana, which places it on the Via Clodia, between Tuscania (Toscanella) and Saturnia, 12 miles from the former, and 18 from the latter city. It probably occupied the same site as the modern village of Farnese. (Cluver. Ital. p. 517; Dennis, Etruria, vol. i. p. 463.)
