The place was mentioned in the Tabula Peutingeriana as the first statio or post station at the 12th mile from Rome. Seven kilometres farther west was the post-station of Baebiana, where inscriptions show that some sailors of the fleet were stationed, probably a detachment from Centumcellae along this road. 300 Roman tombs have been found in the area along the old via Aurelia.
