Aveia Vestina

By Benedetto Pesci

Italian original Cite

AVEIA VESTINA. - Ancient city of Samnium, not far from Fossa. In the Roman Synod of 465 there appears a Gaudentius, bishop aviciensis, whom L. Duchesne, against the editors of that synod, rightly claims for A. V. It is likely that the episcopal see of Forconium (called Cona or Furconium), today Civita di Bagno, which occurs for the first time in the Roman Synod of 680, succeeded A. V. after its destruction and abandonment. The see of Forconium was then succeeded by that of L'Aquila (v.). To A. V. and to Forconium are linked the very late legends of Sts. Felix and Justa; Eusanius and Gratia, his sister; Maximus, bishop of A. V. or of Forconium.
