Why did Virgil name these cities as arsenals ? Simply as important ones ? But there were others quite as important, and what we should naturally look for is some tradition of metal-working in these centres : but of this I can find no trace, either in history or archaeology. Recently Dr. Cirilli has started a theory that the Salii, or dancing priest- warriors of Mars, represent the introduction of metal- working from Crete ; ^ and if this were so it would be quite like Virgil to select as his ar...senals cities in which Salii were an institution. But the only one of the five where they are known to have existed is Tibur; and in my opinion Dr. Cirilli's theory is quite unneces- sary as an explanation of the Salii, and inconsistent with the evidence of archaeology, which proves that metal-working came into central Italy from the north, with the people of the terremare. 2 Of the five towns, Crustumerium and Antemnae were quite near Rome in the Tiber valley, and Tibur not far off; they may stand for arsenals of the Latins and Aequi.
