Forum Decii

Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

FORUM DECII a town of the Sabines, mentioned only by Pliny (Plin. Nat. 3.12. s. 17), the site of which is wholly unknown. It has been identified by Cluver with the Foroecriof the Tabula; but there is no authority for this, and the latter name is probably corrupted from Forocrea or Forocria, analogous to Interocrea. (Cluver, Ital. p. 690; Holsten. Not. ad Cluv. p. 118.) It is more probable that Forum Decii was situated much further S., in the neighbourhood of Forum Novum ( Vescovio).
