Here were located Patavium (Padua), Aquileia, and Forum Julii.
Gallia Cisalpina contained many flourishing towns.

North of the Padus were Verona, Mediolanum (Milan), Cremona, Mantua, Andes, and Vercellae, a noted battle-field.

South of this river were Augusta Taurinorum (Turin), Placentia, Parma, Mutina, and Ravenna.

The Rubicon, a little stream flowing into the Adriatic, bounded Gallia Cisalpina on the southeast.

The Mucra, another little stream, was the southern boundary on the other side of Italy.
CENTRAL ITALY, _Italia Propria_, or Italy Proper, included all of the peninsula below these rivers as far down as Apulia and Lucania.
