Lanuvium was an ancient Latin city in the Alban Hills, south-east of Rome, now the town of Lanuvio. A member of the Latin League, it received Roman citizenship after the Latin War in 338 BCE. It was famous for its temple of Juno Sospita, which drew worshippers from Rome, and was the birthplace of the emperor Antoninus Pius.
