In the beginning attacks were made by Filerico against those who believed that "lavinia" (Aeneid 1, 2), not "lavina" was the correct lectio; then he had to defend himself from the accusation of having confused the three old Latian towns of Lavinium, Lanuvium and Lanivium, of denying the authenticity of vv. Capturing a similar development further down the social scale are the rules of a burial club from Lanuvium, a small town in Italy, dating from about 136 CE. |
