thanks for Cocceio NERVA from NARNIA information

about the lake Vadimon there are different point of view but I see this place near Narnia and Orte , now there are not many water , but are a very suggestive place.

If you follow the banks of the Tiber for about four miles above Orte, you will reach the "Laghetto" or "Lagherello," or "Lago di Bassano," so called from a village in the neighbourhood. In it you behold the Vadimonian Lake of antiquity, renowned for the defeat of the Etruscans on two several occasions — first, by the Dictator, Papirius Cursor, in the year 445, when after a desperate and hard-contested battle the might of Etruria was irrecoverably broken; and again, in the year 471, when Cornelius Dolabella utterly routed the allied forces of the Etruscans and Gauls on its shores. In after times it was renowned for its floating islands, a minute description of which is given by the younger Pliny. —

"They pointed out to me a lake lying below the hill, the Vadimon by name, and told me certain marvellous stories concerning it. I went thither. The lake is in the form of a wheel lying on its side, even all round, without sinuosity or irregularity, but perfectly uniform in shape, as though it had been hollowed out and cut round by the hand of man. The water is whitish rather than blue, inclined to green, and turbid, of sulphureous smell, medicinal taste, and glutinous quality. .............
