Trebula Balliensis

Trebula or Trebula Balliensis or Trebula Baliensis, was an ancient city of Campania, Italy [1]. The first mention of the name occurs in 303 BCE, when we are told that the Trebulani received the Roman franchise at the same time with the Arpinates [1]. The Liber Coloniarum also mentions Trebula among the municipal towns of Campania [1]. It appears to have received a fresh body of settlers under Augustus, but without attaining the rank of a colony [1]. The site of Trebula, which was erroneously fixed by Cluverius and some local writers to the south of the Vulturnus, appears to be correctly identified by local antiquarians with a place called Treglia or Tregghia, at the foot of the Pizzo San Salvatore, about 10 km north of the Vulturnus and 13 km northeast of Capua [1].
