Mugilla was a settlement in Latium Vetus. Dionysius of Halicarnassus mentions it as one of seven Latin cities sacked by Coriolanus. Its location is unknown and its obscurity is further highlighted by the fact that Pliny the Elder does not include it in his catalog of vanished Latin peoples and places. The cognomen of a branch of the gens Papiria - Mugillanus - is thought to derive from the name of the settlement. Lucius Papirius Mugillanus held the consulship at Rome in 427 BCE.

A large architectural complex on the east side of the acropolis ridge in Cyrene that was probably built at the beginning of the first century AD and used as a gymnasium, but was later repurposed as forum in Flavian times, when the rooms north of the complex were levelled in order to build a large basilica.
