Crustumerium (or Crustuminum) was an ancient town of Latium, on the edge of the Sabine territory, near the headwaters of the Allia, not far from the Tiber. The Crustumini were amongst the peoples which attended Romulus' festival of Neptune Equester. At that festival the Roman men seized the young women amongst the visiting spectators, an event known as the Rape of the Sabine Women. Afterwards, according to Livy, the Crustumini commenced hostilities.

  • Crustumerium (or Crustuminum) was an ancient town of Latium, on the edge of the Sabine territory, near the headwaters of the Allia, not far from the Tiber. The Crustumini were amongst the peoples which attended Romulus' festival of Neptune Equester. At that festival the Roman men seized the young women amongst the visiting spectators, an event known as the Rape of the Sabine Women. Afterwards, according to Livy, the Crustumini commenced hostilities. The Romans retaliated, and captured Crustumerium. A Roman colony was subsequently sent to the town by Romulus and many citizens of the town migrated to Rome. More of the Roman colonists preferred to go to Crustumerium than to another town, Antemnae, because of the fertility of the soil at the former . It appears several times in the early history of Rome, but was conquered in 500 BC according to Livy (ii. 19), the tribus Crustumina or Clustumina being formed in 471 BC. Pliny mentions it among the lost cities of Latium, but the name clung to the district, the fertility of which remained famous. The site of Crustumerium has been identified in the locality Marcigliana Vecchia, north to modern Rome along the Via Salaria, not far from Settebagni; only partially excavated, it covered an area of some 60 hectars.
  • Crustumerium (auch Crustumeria) war eine antike Stadt in Latium, die unweit Roms an der Via Salaria im Hügelland zwischen Fidenae, Nomentum und Eretum lag. Ihre erst spät erfundene Gründungssage bezieht flüchtige Trojaner oder Sikuler ein und bringt den Namen mit Klytaimnestra in Verbindung. Sie wird auch von einigen Autoren als athenische Kolonie bezeichnet. Die Stadt Crustumerium wird im Zusammenhang mit der römischen Gründungssage, Königszeit und frühen Republik genannt, etwa beim Raub der Sabinerinnen des Romulus. Dionysios berichtet (III 49) die Unterwerfung der Stadt durch Rom unter dessen König Tarquinius Priscus, Livius (II 19) dagegen verlegt die Einnahme der Stadt in das Jahr 499 v. Chr. Moderne Historiker datieren diese Ereignisse noch später: Laut Bringmann (2002) wurde Crustumerium (zusammen mit Fidenae und Ficulea) „der Tradition nach im Jahre 426“ erobert, woraufhin das Gebiet als „tribus Crustumeria“ besiedelt worden sei, während Bengtson (1982) die endgültige Eroberung der Stadt und die Schaffung der „tribus Clustumina“ („nach einer 20jährigen Waffenruhe“) erst ins Jahr 405 bzw. kurz danach legt. Die spärlichen Erwähnungen in der republikanischen Zeit und Plinius des Älteren Bericht, die Stadt sei neben einigen anderen latinischen Städten vernichtet worden, passen zusammen. Bisher wurden auch keine Reste der Stadt freigelegt.
  • Crustumerio fu un'antica città del Latium oggi scomparsa. Secondo gli storici antichi questa città si trovava a nord di Fidene, non molto distante dalla riva sinistra del Tevere, presso il fiume Allia. Mentre non esiste certezza sulla natura dei suoi abitanti che secondo i diversi autori erano originari dai Sabini o dai Latini o Falisci o addirittura dai Siculi. La sua necropoli è stata individuata recentemente, negli anni '70, nella zona a nord di Roma presso via della Marcigliana. Publio Virgilio Marone ci descrive Crustumerio come una delle 5 città che fabbricarono le armi usate contro Enea. Livio ci da molte notizie sulla città che fu sottomessa da Romolo, e poi Tarquinio Prisco annesse definitivamente il suo territorio detto Agro Crustumino con la formazione della tribù clustumina. Decadde dopo la distruzione di Veio nel IV secolo a.C..
