Barrington Atlas: BAtlas 43 E3 Compitum

The Barrington Atlas Directory notes: Osteria della Fontana

There is archaeological evidence for cult activity at the site already in the Orientalizing period, perhaps connected with nymphs associated with a now vanished lake. Romanization of the area likely absorbed the local cult into the cult of Diana by the second century B.C. Livy discusses the compitum Anagninum in the context of portents observed during the summer of 210 B.C. Livy remarks that there was an extramural lightning strike near Anagnia that resulted in a fire that burned for a day and a night and that at the crossroads (compitum) in the grove of Diana, there birds of the trees chose to abandon their nests.
