Albānus Lacus

A small lake, about five miles in circumference, west of the Mons Albanus, between Bovillae and Alba Longa. It is the crater of an extinct volcano, and is many hundred feet deep. The emissarium which the Romans bored through the solid rock during the siege of Veii, in order to carry off the superfluous water of the lake, is extant at the present day. See Emissarium.
