Longula

Longula was a town in ancient times in the territory of the Volsci in central Italy.^[1] It was located south of Rome, and just north of the Volscian capital Antium.^[2]

The monotypic mushroom genus Longula is now included in Agaricus; see Agaricus deserticola.

In 493 BC it was captured by a Roman army under the command of the consul Postumus Cominius Auruncus.^[3][4]

In around 488 BC it was retaken by the Volsci.^[5]
