Carrea Potentia

Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

CA´RREA POTE´NTIA a town of Lioguria, mentioned only by Pliny (Plin. Nat. 3.5. s. 7), who enumerates it among the nobilia oppidawhich adorned that province on the N. side of the Apennines. No other trace is found of it; and its site has been variously fixed at Chierinear Turin, and at Carrùon the Tanaro, a few miles S. of Bene;the latter has perhaps the best claim.
