Labici

Labici or Labicum or Lavicum [1] (Latin: Lăbīcī or Lăbīcum) was an ancient city of Latium, in what is now central Italy, lying in the territory of the modern Monte Compatri, about 20 km SE from Rome, on the northern slopes of the Alban Hills.

Exact location of the original city is however disputed.

After this it does not appear in history, and in the time of Cicero and Strabo was almost entirely deserted if not destroyed.

Its place was taken by the respublica Lavicanorum Quintanensium, the post-station established in the lower ground on the Via Labicana, a little SW of the modern village of Colonna, the site of which is attested by various inscriptions and by the course of the road itself.
