Pollentia

Pollentia

▪ Italy
modern  Pollenza 

      ancient town in the territory of the Statielli in Liguria, northern Italy, located 10 miles north of Augusta Bagiennorum (Vagienna) on the Tenarus (Tanaro) River. Its position on the road from Augusta Taurinorum (Turin) to Hasta (Asti) gave it military importance in ancient Roman times.

      Decimus Brutus checked Mark Antony's retreat at Pollentia in 43 BC. The Roman general Stilicho (Stilicho, Flavius) on Easter Sunday, April 6, AD 402, fought a battle there with the Goths. Though it was indecisive, the leader of the Goths, Alaric, afterward withdrew them from Italy. Pollentia was noted for its pottery and its dark-coloured wool. Remains survive at the village of Pollenza.
