The Embassy of Romulus to Attila (One of the last Citations of Poetovio in Classical Literature)

Abstract

The author has attempted to prove that the expression civitas Noricum (or, analogously, polis Norikon) referred to Poetovio with its ager. She further argued that the mother of the last Roman emperor Romulus had not originated from Poetovio, as has generally been accepted. Poetovio is mentioned by Priscus as one of the stopping points of Romulus' embassy on its way to Attila.
