[1] _Latium_, from the same root as _latus_, side; _later_, brick; [Greek: platys], flat; Sans. _prath_: not connected with _latus_, wide.
[2] In the time of Augustus the boundary of Latium extended as far E. as Treba (Trevi), 12 m. S.E. of Sublaqueum (Subiaco).

[5] The most important results will be found stated at the outset of the articles ROME: _History_ (the chief being that the Plebeians of Rome probably consisted of Latins and the Patricians of Sabines), LIGURIA, SICULI and ARICIA. For the Etruscan dominion in the Latin plain see ETRURIA. Special mention may here be made of one or two points of importance. The legends represent the Latins of the historical period as a fusion of different races, Ligures, Veneti and Siculi among them; the story of the alliance of the Trojan settler Aeneas with the daughter of Latinus, king of the aborigines, and the consequent enmity of the Rutulian prince Turnus, well known to readers of Virgil, is thoroughly typical of the reflection of these distant ethnical phenomena in the surviving traditions. In view of the historical significance of the NO- ethnicon (see SABINI) it is important to observe that the original form of the ethnic adjective no doubt appears in the title of _Juppiter Latiaris_ (not _Latinus_); and that Virgil's description of the descent of the noble Drances at Latinus's court (Aen. xi. 340)--_genus huic materna superbum Nobilitas dabat, incertum de patre ferebat_--indicates a very different system of family ties from the famous _patria potestas_ and agnation of the Patrician and Sabine clans. (R. S. C.)
[6] The MSS. read [Greek: boillanôn] or [Greek: boilanôn]: the Latin translation has Bolanorum. It is difficult to say which is to be preferred. The list gives only twenty-nine names, and Mommsen proposes to insert Signini.
