Tarracina

Possibly named after the Tarquinii family when the city was briefly part of the Etruscan League, the city was also known as Anxur to the Volscii after the name given to the god Jupiter as a youth. Occupying the whole territory between the coast and the Volscii mountains, Livy described it as "a city flat in the marshes" because of its control over the Western access to the Pontine Marshes.
