Trebula Suffenas
Trebula (Greek: Τρήβουλα) or Trebula Suffenas or Trebula Suffenes, was an ancient city of the Sabines, one of two bearing the name Trebula (the other being Trebula Mutusca) – Pliny being the only author who mentions both places: Trebulani qui cognominantur Mutuscaei, et qui Suffenates.[1]
Location
Its site is most likely be at or near Ciciliano,[2] where most of the inscriptions referring to the city have been found, and possibly near Passo della Fortuna, a frazione of Ciciliano.[3][4]
It is probable that the Tribula (Τρίβολα) of
The Tabula Peutingeriana depicts Treblis in sector 5B1, on the route between Praeneste and Carsulis.[5]
