MATERNUM a town of Etruria, known only from the Tabula Peutingeriana, which places it on the Via Clodia, between Tuscania ( Toscanella) and Saturnia, 12 miles from the former, and 18 from the latter city. It probably occupied the same site as the modern village of Farnese. (Cluver. Ital. p. 517; Dennis, Etruria, vol. 1. p. 463.)
