Forum Trajani

Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

FORUM TRAJANI a town in the interior of Sardinia, known only from the Itineraries, which place it on the road from Tibula, through the interior of the island, to Othoca. ( itin. Ant. p. 82.) Its site is fixed at a place called Fordongianus, on the left bank of the river Tirsi(Thyrsus), about 16 miles from Oristano, where there are considerable Roman remains, including those of a bridge, and of Thermae on a scale of great magnificence. These doubtless owe their origin to the emperor Trajan. (Valéry, Voy. en Sardaigne, vol. 2.100.35).
