Ulubrae
Ulubrae was an ancient village about 50 kilometers (30 mi) from
Latin authors such as Cicero, Juvenal, and Horace.[1][2] It could have been located, among the other proposed sites, in the territory of the current comune of Cisterna di Latina.[3]
Its use in this proverbial fashion is also associated with the 18th-century Scottish Boswell family's country seat at Auchinleck. Alexander Boswell inscribed a line from Horace on Auchinleck House—"what thou seekest is here, it is in Ulubrae, unless equanimity is lacking"—and his son James Boswell referred to himself as the "Master of Ulubrae".[2]
