Text Appearing Before Image:
edin the civil wars. (Id. Ep. ii. 2.) We hear nothing of Venusia under the RomanEmpire, but it is certain from the Liber Coloiuarum,which mentions it among the Civitates Apuliae, andfrom the Itineraries, that it continued to exist as acity, and apparently one of the most considerable inthis part of Italy. (Ptol. iii. 1. § 73 ; Lib. Colon.pp. 210, 261; Itin. Ant. pp. 104, 113, 121 ; Tab.Pent.) Tliis is further confirmed by inscriptions,in one of which it is called splendida civitas Venu-sinorum. (Momnisen, /. R. N. 706.) It retainedthe same consideration throughout the middle ages,and is still an episcopal city with about 6000 inha-bitants. Its antiquities have been illustrated with aprofusion of erudition by Italian writers, but it hasfew ancient remains of much interest; though frag-ments of ancient edifices, mosaic pavements, &c.have been found on the site, as well as numerous in-scriptions.

VERCELLAE. 1277 (added as an appendix to the Iter Venvsinum, 4to-Neapoh, 1797), and more recently by Mommsen, inhis Inscriptiones Reyni NeapoUtani (pp. 39—48).Concerning the antiquities of Venusia in general,see the work of Lupoli above quoted, and tliat ofCnnagha (Antiquitates Venusinae, 4to. Neapol,1757.) TE H B 1 VEPITENUM or VIPITENUM, a place in thedistrict occupied by the Venostes in Rhaetia, betweenVeldidena and Tridentum. (It. Ant. pp. 275, 280 ;Tab. Pent.) Its modern representative is, in allprobability, the town of Sterzinff on the Eisach, atthe foot of the Brenner. (L. S. I VEKAGRI (Ovapa-ypoi). The Veragri are placedby Caesar (B.C. iii. 1, 6) in the Valais of Swit-zerland between the Nantuates and the Seduni,(N.VNTUATES; Seduni). Their town was Octodurus(Martigny), whence the Veragri are called Octodu-renses by Pliny (Octodurus). Dion Cassius(xxxix. 5), using Caesar as he generally used him,says that the Veragri extended from the territoryof the Allobrog
