Ripa Veientana
In ancient Rome, the Ripa Veientana denotes the western bank of the Tiber , the counterpart to the ripa Romana . The name appears in inscriptions on the cippi of the officials responsible for the maintenance of the banks, the curatores riparum , more frequently during the imperial period , but is probably of ancient origin and included the area between the Cremera, a tributary of the Tiber, and the sea. The initial name was well Ripa Veiens , so the bank Veii , which the Etruscan v Veii to the year 396th Was controlled as Etruscan territory.
