ULUBRAE (near Cisterna), an insignificant town, of interest only because of Horace's allusion to it in the following lines: "Caelum, non animum mutant, qui trans mare currunt. strenua nos exercet inertia: navibus atque quadrigis petimus bene vivere. quod petis, hic est, VADIMONIS LACUS (Lago di Bassano), a lake which is important histori- accustomed to frequent it for purposes of rest. Aemilius Paulus, for example, once retired to this spot while recovering from a long and dangerous illness (Plut. Aemil. Paul. xxxix.). VELITRAE (Vellétri), the home of the distinguished Octavian family (Suet. Aug. 1; 6). VENAFRUM (Venafro), famous for its oil to which Horace thus alludes: "His mixtum ius est: oleo quod prima Venafri pressit cella." (Sat. ii. 8, 45-46). See, too, "Viridi Venafro" (C. ii. 6, 15-16). VOLATERRAE (Volterra), an ancient and exceedingly powerful Etruscan city whose lofty situation made it an impregnable stronghold. Because of its remoteness from Rome, it is not often mentioned in early times even though it must have played a prominent part in Etruscan affairs. We hear of it in connection with the struggle between Marius and Sulla as an adherent of the former. Strabo says that it made so able a resistance to the forces of Sulla that a two-year siege was necessary in order to capture it. Rutilius describes the place (de Red. Suo i. 453 f.) and Strabo writes as follows concerning it: "The territory belonging to Volaterrae is washed by the sea. The town is situated in a deep valley. There is a very high hill, precipitous on all sides, with a lofty summit upon which the citadel is situated. The ascent, fifteen stadia, is steep and difficult" (v. 2, 6).
