colonia Latina
Circeii received a Latin colony ca. 390 B.C. The remains on the site include an enclosure wall built in polygonal masonry. "Circeii 1" refers to the earlier Roman colony founded at the eastern side of Monte Circeo. The settlement eventually moved to the western side of the peninsula.

It seems that Circeii need some disambiguation (currently "Circeii 1" and "Circeii 2"). I am guessing that Circeii 1 refers to the polygonal enceinte on the promontory and Circeii 2 to the Roman colony. How best to clarify?
