ANTEMNAE, ancient village of Latium, west of the Via Salaria, am. north of Rome, where the Anio falls into the Tiber. It is said that Romulus took it after the rape of the Sabine women, and that it helped the Tarquins. Certainly it soon lost its independence, and in Strabo's time was a mere village. The site is very strong; traces of outer walls and huts, wells and a cis, tern have been found.
